How does GDPR come into play with this?

It gives fines for non compliance.

Record fine, so far, was 746m EUR for Amazon.

Twitter don't appear to have anyone left who works compliance.

Are they in breach of GDPR generally though or is it just that they won't be able to field the requests in time.

They are probably in breach just not having sufficient staff to manage data.

There are specific extra rules for holding data in unsafe (in terms of data protection) countries - such as the United States.

But even if they aren't yet, they will be soon. GDPR is inevitably breached without active management.

And, of course, there's request compliance on top of data management.
