Science-Technology Title: Hidden camera: Hundreds of Twitter Employees Paid to View "Everything You Post Online" Including Private "Sex Messages" (San Francisco) Project Veritas has released undercover footage of Twitter Engineers and employees admitting that Twitter employees view all of your private messages on their servers and analyze it to create a “virtual profile” of you which they sell to advertisers. The footage features four current Twitter software engineers–Conrado Miranda, Clay Haynes, Pranay Singh, and Mihai Alexandru Florea. Haynes, who was featured in part one of the Twitter exposé, admitted in a January 6, 2018 meeting that Twitter has hired hundreds employees with the express purpose of looking at these “d*ck pics,” stating: Haynes continues to elaborate that even he himself has seen these “d*ck pics” “That’s, yeah… You know, actually… This sounds horrible, but I’m actually glad and fortunate it’s just dicks, it’s just blow job pictures, it’s just that type of stuff.” Pranay Singh, a Direct Messaging Engineer for Twitter corroborated Haynes claims in a meeting with a Project Veritas journalist on January 5, 2018: “All your illegitimate wives and, like, all the girls you’ve been f*cking around with, they’re are on my server now… I’m going to send it to your wife, she’s going use it in your divorce.” “So, what happens is like, you like, write something or post pictures on line, they never go away… Because even after you send them, people are like analyzing them, to see what you are interested in, to see what you are talking about. And they sell that data.” According to Twitter software expert Mihai Florea, “To actually charge the advertisers the money we have to prove it was you, and that’s why using email address, or like a cookie or something that can track you.” Florea continues, saying, “You’re paying for the right to use our website with your data basically.” Even those without Twitter accounts have their data stored in their databases, according to Conrado Miranda: “You leak way more information than you think. Like, we have information from people–Like, if you go to Twitter for the first time, we have information about you.” When asked how to protect people if that power fell into the wrong hands, Miranda responded “You don’t… There is no way.” Clay Haynes also expressed his discomfort for Twitter’s policy in a December 29, 2017 meeting: When Haynes was asked if this type of private information could leak from Twitter, he had this to say: “Twitter is aggressively harvesting your personal information and tracking your every movement, selling your virtual dossier to the highest bidder ” says Project Veritas Founder James O’Keefe. “Even more alarming is that these Twitter employees don’t seem to think that they are the ‘biggest brother’ out there… We have more to come – stay tuned.” Poster Comment: It is every bit as bad as many of us have warned about. Not only are they looking at your DMs and dick pix, there is nothing to stop them from selling those to the highest bidder. And Facebook is even worse.

There can only be ONE possible reason for Twitter to do this,and that reason is to mine the posts for possible blackmail material on people who are prominent in politics. After all,you don't really need dirt on Senator Daddy if you have dirt on the activities of Senator Daddy's children that could send them to prison.
You might have a few rogue employees try that. The bigger issue is that they are selling everything about you to their real customers, the advertisers. Same with Facebook. Apple keeps its info to itself. Google does as well for the most part. Facebook and Twitter are by far the biggest abusers of public trust.
I don't have accounts there and never would. I do view some of them based on my personal interests or URLs e.g. horse racing stuff.
I don't have accounts there and never would. I have an account at Facebook to keep anyone else from opening an account in my name. Should probably do the same with twitter,but just can't seem to get around to it. Proactive defensive move.
