Before his death, Jamal Khashoggi was repeatedly attacked by an army of Twitter trolls that had been ordered to target him as part of a broader campaign against Saudis who were critical of the kingdom. Yet the attacks went far beyond a trolling campaign. The New York Times reveals that Saudi Arabia worked to groom a high-ranking Twitter Saudi employee to spy on user accounts.

The intelligence officials warned Twitter about the employee, Ali Alzabrah, at the end of 2015.
