If you have a business, you most likely need to promote it on Twitter, or to at least reserve an account there so that someone else won't impersonate you. You also need to do that on almost all other major social platforms. If you have a business or personal account on Twitter, your direct messages, the data the system generates about your preferences and interests, your geo-coordinates, and everything you post, including control of how your account works can apparently be accessed by too many people within the company. It's a pretty big deal for anyone that uses the platform citing all that... Not something that should just be "left to it's own devices" because everyone else is doing the same. All cases of data abuse/misuse should be addressed, but addressing one this big would also be a pretty big deal.
