Have a nice day

 

I have
it is you that needs to read it

Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications: We provide certain features that allow you to communicate more privately. For example, you can use Direct Messages to have private conversations with other Twitter users. When you privately communicate with others through our Services, such as by sending and receiving Direct Messages, we will store and process your communications, and information related to them. Please note that if you interact with public Twitter content shared with you via Direct Message, for instance by liking a Tweet shared via Direct Message, those interactions may be public. When you use features like Direct Messages to communicate privately, please remember that recipients may copy, store, and re-share the contents of your communications.
https://twitter.com/en/privacy

only thing you are agreeing to with your Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications is to allow Twitter to store and process those messages your not agreeing to them reading or sharing those communications
and because Twitter has described Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications as private that gives the user reasonable expectation of privacy

 

Read the WHOLE THING:

2. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy (https://www.twitter.com/privacy) describes how we handle the information you provide to us when you use our Services. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States, Ireland, and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by Twitter and its affiliates.

THEY own the data.

 

Twitter is referring to the information you provide them when you sign up like your name and location not the content of your Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications

 

Yeah, so?

Who in 2018 does not already know this? You for a start, apparently (no offense).
Sure it sucks...but it is life on the 'net.

I have long assumed that Facebook, twitter, Amazon, Google, Bing, etc....look at every, single thing you do online.

Solution?

Don't post ANYTHING on line you are not prepared for the whole world to see...EVER.

 

"you agreed to this" isn't a cop out, it's a fact. Read before you sign.

 

and I have read before you sign and no where in the TOS does it state you are agreeing to allow Twitter to read and share the content of Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications

 

Then there's no issue.

 

the issue is Twitter is doing what you haven't agreed to allow them to do
Twitter is reading and sharing the content of your Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications
Communications that one has the reasonable expectation of privacy

 

Then sue them if you didn't agree to such conduct in the privacy policy.

 

One step at a time. After you establish what the company is legally or contractually prohibited from doing, you’d then have to prove in court that they’re actually doing things (and to bring an individual case, prove they did it with your data specifically). The headline grabbing claims in the article which triggered all of this isn’t proof of wrongdoing by the organisation.

 

No, they are talking about the information “during use”. This includes all the metadata gained during use. This is why the government sues THEM and not you when they want to see your data.

Like any other service, they are informing you that they “own the data” when it comes to its “use”. That’s the core of ANY social media platforms legal standing for publishing it in a “public forum”. I know this because as an engineer I have worked for more than one of them.

 

reading comprehension isn't your strong point is it here I will help you out and if you still don't get it go get you mother to help

This Privacy Policy describes how and when we collect, use, and share your information across our websites, SMS, APIs, email notifications, applications, buttons, embeds, ads, and our other covered services that link to this Policy (collectively, the “Services”), and from our partners and other third parties. For example, you send us information when you use our Services on the web, via SMS, or from an application such as Twitter for Mac, Twitter for Android, or TweetDeck. When using any of our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, storage, disclosure, and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. This includes any information you choose to provide that is deemed sensitive under applicable law

repeat your information doesn't say content of your Direct Messages and Non-Public Communications

 

Your being obtuse. YES it does mean that.

"Your information" is not just information about you. "Your information" is anything you submit. All due respect but your wrong on this one. I worked for 2 social media platforms, and a major job board. ALL of them use the same language, and do it to protect themselves in the very same ways.

 

Yea its legally iron clad and that's the issue.

Imagine if your hospital admissions form included "by using our services you agree to allow Hospital Inc. to do whatever we want whenever we want with you while you're here"?

And while you're there they take some spinal fluid, not because it was medically relevant but because they can and because they want to use for a giant human identification database.

Because that's the extent to which people are blindly signing away their information, their pictures, their conversations, their privacy, the things they like, the things they don't like, and so on.

Yea its technically legal, but the point is they should have to very specifically define what they're going to do.

A catch all that says "we'll do whatever we want with you" isn't a legal mechanism we should be using, ya know?

I'm just glad I never got on Facebook or Twitter or any of that social media ****, its just pure cancer.
