@Tempo @serenity Well, ‘Twitter staff can read DMs’ is a bit of an understatement.
“Private” direct messages can be read by any third party app to which you’ve given Twitter #OAuth permission.

@coldhotman I tend to agree with your statement concerning client apps because your data stays on your local device (unless that app is spyware). However, the concerning apps are 3d party cloud-services which use the twitter api. These include cloud automation. social media monitoring, and social media backup services. These services pull ‘private’ data directly off the twitter servers.
