Twitter has fired top executives and enforced steep job cuts with little warning following billionaire Elon Musk's tumultuous takeover of the company last month. About half of the workforce - around 3,700 employees - has been laid off, while more than 1,000 have resigned.
Prior to the cuts, Twitter employed around 500 people at its European headquarters in Dublin where - like many other tech giants - Ireland's Data Privacy Commissioner (DPC<\/a>) is the social media platform's lead privacy regulator within the EU.
\"We are concerned and we're tracking it very closely. So far we're getting answers to our questions,\" DPC head Helen Dixon<\/a> told Irish national broadcaster RTE on Monday.
The comments follow similar concerns raised last week by the EU's justice chief around Twitter's ability to comply with tough new rules over illegal online content following a visit to the company's Dublin headquarters.
Dixon<\/a> said the DPC was in contact with Twitter several times a day to establish what roles remain in place and had \"a range of contacts\" still based at Twitter in Dublin.
\"It's a fast-evolving situation, I think where we arrive at the point where we can't get answers and we have no point of contact, then we will be in very serious difficulty,\" Dixon said.
At a basic level, an organisation like Twitter must have a data protection officer in place with a team around them, as well as a board based in Dublin that is making decisions on personal data processing in respect of EU users, she added.
The watchdog said it had also been able to continue with six investigations into Twitter relating to potential privacy breaches that pre-date Musk's acquisition.
The DPC, which regulates Apple, Google, Meta and other technology giants due to the location of their EU headquarters in Ireland, has 40 inquiries open into big tech firms.

“我们担心,我们密切跟踪它。到目前为止,我们得到我们的问题的答案,“DPC的头海伦·迪克森周一告诉爱尔兰国家广播公司RTE。
在评论上周遵循类似的担忧欧盟司法长官在Twitter的能力遵守严格的新规则对非法网络内容访问都柏林的公司总部。
迪克森表示,DPC接触Twitter一天几次建立什么角色仍然存在,“联系人”仍然在Twitter在都柏林。
“这是一个飞速发展的情况下,我认为,我们到达的地方我们不能得到答案,我们没有接触点,然后我们将在非常严重的困难,”迪克森说。
在基本层面上,Twitter这样的一个组织必须有一个数据保护官员周围有一个团队,以及董事会决策在都柏林,基于欧盟用户的个人数据处理方面,她补充道。
监管机构表示,它还能够继续六Twitter相关的潜在的隐私调查违反先于麝香的收购。
