According to the federal lawsuit, Twitter failed to tell its users for years that it used their contact information to help marketers target their advertising — in violation of a 2011 privacy settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.
"This practice affected more than 140 million Twitter users, while boosting Twitter's primary source of revenue," FTC Chair Lina Khan said in a statement.Twitter said Wednesday that the use of the personal information for ads was"inadvertent," and that the incident was first disclosed in 2019.
Twitter will now label and suppress misinformation surrounding armed conflict and other crises"From at least May 2013 until at least September 2019, Twitter misrepresented to users of its online communication service the extent to which it maintained and protected the security and privacy of their nonpublic contact information," the complaint said.
