It's even broken in trivial ways. Sure, sharing a pic with one's friends raises the risk of someone sharing it on Twitter, but that is super simple to do. Right click, Save Image As..., Upload, Browse, OK. Here are 2 little technical things to do:
* Make the browser technology slightly less happy to assume that displaying a picture means that the viewer has all the rights to download it for his/hers own use. Take out "Save Image As...", perhaps if a "private" attribute is set on the image.
* Make Facebook technology display more clearly what is the audience of a given item. Yeah, that means spelling in clear if the image is available for advertisers as well.
Given this little two steps, "accidentally" posting a private image to Twitter becomes less of an excuse. You took the action of taking a screen snapshot (or camera pic) of something explicitly labeled as private and posted it for a public audience. That sucks and may be even be grounds for legal action under copyright law.
