Twitter Used Phone Numbers And User Emails For Targeted Advertising

Twitter is using photo number sand user emails without the knowledge of the owners of the social network.

Representatives of Twitter officially confirmed that phone numbers and email were used not only to protect accounts but also for advertising purposes. Interestingly, the company itself learned about this recently.

As noted in a new article in the tech support section, when users left their email or phone number to confirm their account or two-factor authentication, this information fell into the target audience assessment program. The latter helps advertisers find their potential customers, but it should not have access to such data.

The problem was fixed on September 17, so now the data can no longer be used without your consent. Representatives of Twitter said that it was a mistake, not an advertising tool, and apologized to users.
