> You think what you've quoted from their privacy policy exonerates Twitter, but you may simply be misinterpreting it. Exonerates? Not at all! My point was just that (contrary to the article) Twitter doesn't make any claims whatsoever about how long they hold your Address Book data. In fact, since it's mentioned along with other "data with which users may customize their account," that sort of implies that they consider it an integral and permanent part of your customized account profile. If someone told me that the data stays around until I choose to delete my account, I don't see anything in the privacy policy that would contradict that.
