"The lawsuit was brought last May against X, as Twitter is now known, by Areej al-Sadhan, the sister of a Saudi aid worker who was forcibly disappeared and then later sentenced to 20 years in jail."

This article goes into much more detail, but it shows Twitter (now X) has shown somewhat of a disregard for the Saudi links to the killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi and seems to only respond once the FBI gets involved.
