As its contract is up for renewal this month, Twitter has failed to pay its Google Cloud fees, which might cripple the social media company’s trust and safety teams, Platformer reported on Saturday.
According to the article, Twitter and Google inked a multi-year pact regarding, among other things, combatting spam and securing accounts, before Elon Musk took control of the social media network last year.
The Platformer study omitted information on how the rivalry between the two businesses would impede Twitter’s trust and safety teams. The Information said that since at least March, Twitter has been attempting to renegotiate its deal with Google.
According to Platformer, Twitter keeps some services on its server and others on the cloud infrastructures of Amazon and Google.
According to the Information, Amazon sent a warning to Twitter in March that it would withhold payment for advertising due to the company’s unpaid invoices to Amazon Web Services for cloud computing services.
Since Musk bought Twitter, the company has drastically reduced costs and let go of thousands of people. According to a person who spoke to reporters in November, Musk gave the business instructions to reduce infrastructure expenditures by $1 billion, including spending on cloud services.
An email query was not immediately answered by Twitter, and a request for comment was not immediately answered by Google.
