According to a Platformer report, Twitter is reportedly refusing to pay Google for its cloud hosting services, jeopardizing the platform's stability.  The social media giant signed a $1B contract with Google Cloud in 2018 but is now scrambling to move its services back to its own infrastructure before the contract expires on June 30. The migration process is running behind schedule, potentially impacting Twitter's ability to combat spam and child sexual abuse material. In the meantime, Twitter is reportedly refusing to honor its $1B contract with Google for cloud hosting services.. Owner Elon Musk has been cutting costs at Twitter since taking over, and the dissatisfaction with Google's infrastructure performance is cited as the reason for withholding payment. Details of how the dispute could affect Twitter's trust and safety teams were not provided. Earlier this year, Amazon threatened to withhold advertising payments from Twitter due to unpaid bills for cloud computing services. Twitter was also sued this year for alleged nonpayment of rent at one of its San Francisco offices.
