Tl;dr:
- probably all the data isn't from X
- the data seems to be all public - e.g.
- user ID and screen name
- number of followers
- number of tweets
- source of last Tweet (e.g. TweetDeck)
- location and timezone
- profile is protected or verified
I'm not sure that headline is very sensible to propagate.
- ironhaven 2y agoThe posting client was removed from the UI and has not been public for a while
- tech234a 2y agoYes it was removed the UI, but if you browse Twitter with developer tools open to the Network tab you can still find the posting client in the API response JSON when viewing a Tweet.
- sReinwald 2y agoThat's not quite correct. It is no longer visible on the website itself, or within the mobile clients. But if you inspect the requests, you can still see things like source: <a href="http://twitter.com/download/iphone" rel="nofollow">Twitter for iPhone</a> which shows the tweet was posted from iOS.
- areyourllySorry 2y agotorrent metadata says it's from 2022, before it was "removed" magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c963982c4ffa264fe76ec5918f83dd775521201b&dn=twitter_users_csv&tr=udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80&tr=udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce
- epoxia 2y agoThe "alleged inside job" is pretty clearly clickbait. It could still be a bad leak if that information is for privated accounts as well.
