Isn't all Twitter data public? They don't need to deny anything
well , twitter doesnt publish your IP,your email or your social security number everytime you tweet ... so no , all its data is not public.
How would twitter have it's user's SSN?
i was joking , my point is there are some data twitter has that could be interesting for any administration.
There was a case here in France where people were making jokes about jews ( "un bon juif"),
Anyway, the french government asked for the ips of the people who made that joke , but Twitter refused to give up user ips.
direct messages are private.
Well the original comment was a bit of a joke. As many of you say that twitter info is public I do not agree. Twitter knows what i search, knows where I am all the time and what I feel about it. Knows with what I interact. I never said that I liked "kittens" but it has that information as google does.
"400 billion Tweets and not one useful bit of data was ever transmitted"
Twitter may or may not be involved in this program or similar, but so far the documents released don't mention them. I wouldn't expect any sort of statement from them.
Twitter seems unlikely because most of the data produced by twitter is public anyways. Only private communication is DM.
