↪ Replying to @unknown
@gustavgatu Yeah, I'm not surprised at all. The surprise is Twitter proactively admitting it. With regards to phone numbers I believe many are missing the severity of it, since so many happily share their address books with any and all services- of course sharing my data in the process... 😠
@gustavgatu The phone number is the key that can unlock and create relationships between data sets that previously seemed completely unrelated.
@gustavgatu Hence it's not about the privacy value of the phone number but the connections between much more private data that it enables.
