For nontrivial centerless T, this action of T×T is faithful and transitive. Its identity stabilizer is the diagonal subgroup. Subgroups above that diagonal are {(a,b):a−1b∈N} with N⊴T: multiply by a diagonal element to isolate the second coordinate, then use diagonal conjugation. Thus the action is primitive exactly when T is nonabelian simple.
