I don't know if the European privacy laws would apply to freely offered public information such as the stuff a person has on their public twitter profile. I always assumed it was for things like personally identifiable data that you gather through other means (e.g. a user signs up on your site directly). The idea of people having an expectation of privacy in a broadcast medium feels preposterous to me.
