Twitter Inc.’s main European Union privacy watchdog said it’s “very concerned” about the ability of Elon Musk’s social media giant to abide by EU laws following an exodus of staff and news last week that a senior executive in Dublin had to go to court to avoid losing her job.

Twitter’s top data watchdog in the EU said it contacted the company on Monday, seeking answers to a number of questions and assurances about its continued compliance with EU law.
