TWITTER SUED FOR SCANNING PRIVATE MESSAGES

A 2015 lawsuit claimed Twitter was spying on users, and now Twitter engineers openly admit they routinely observe the “private” sexual content of unsuspecting users.

The lawsuit was later dismissed in Twitter’s favor, but its allegations match up perfectly with new confessions from Twitter engineers, which suggests the social media site may soon be rocked with similar lawsuits comparing Twitter to Norman Bates spying on his hotel guests.

“As soon as a user sends a Direct Message, Twitter intercepts, reads, and, at times, even alters the message,” said the 2015 federal lawsuit, which was filed by Wilford Raney. “Twitter users necessarily rely on these representations to form the understanding that direct messages let them communicate privately, as opposed to publicly through public tweets.”
