A former Twitter employee has been found guilty of spying on Twitter users on behalf of the Saudi royal family and has been sentenced to three years in prison.
NBC News reports that a former Twitter employee has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for spying on users on behalf of the Saudi royal family.
Ahmad Abouammo, a dual U.S.-Lebanese citizen, was part of a scheme to acquire personal information, including phone numbers and birth dates, for a Saudi government agent. Abouammo helped oversee media partnerships for Twitter in the Middle East and North Africa. The sentence was handed down Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
