Basically Twitter got pwned big time, and now denies it because GDPR will ruin them if breach is proven.

I don't know about any other allegations but this is wrong. GDPR revenue penalties don't apply to breaches.

I thought they applied with Abby negligence in protection of PII? A breach can be little more than an exposure of poor PII protection.
