Parts of a Twitter code used to run the social network were leaked online, the company said in a court filing first reported on Sunday by the New York Times.
Driving the news: Twitter said in a filing on Friday with the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, against Github, a Microsoft-owned software collaboration platform, that the leak included the “[p]roprietary source code for Twitter’s platform and internal tools.”
Meanwhile, Github has since complied with Twitter’s takedown request, according to a post on its website.
What they’re saying: A spokesperson for Github said in an emailed statement early Monday that the company does not generally comment on decisions to remove content.
- “However, in the interest of transparency, we share every DMCA takedown request publicly,” the spokesperson added.
- Representatives for Twitter did not immediately respond to Axios’ request for comment.
