Twitter also sells data to Cambridge Analytica
- Like Facebook, Twitter has also sold user data to the same consulting firm. This is how he assures The Telegraph, but with one difference: Unlike Facebook, the social network of the bird has not sold the personal data of its users.
Mark Zuckerberg’s social network entrusted the personal data of thousands of users to Global Science Research. The case caused a stir due to the lack of security on the network and called into question the reliability of Facebook.
A month later, it was revealed that Twitter has used the same route: Between December 2014 and April 2015, he sold the data to Global Science Research, which entrusted them to Cambridge Analytica. The last case has not had the same impact as the previous one, but they have revealed the lack of protection of personal data in social networks.
Twitter only makes data that is already public available to another service. That is, only publicly available tweets and user-published data can be obtained by the buyer. Your phone number and personal address would be safe from these businesses. “Unlike other services, Twitter has a public nature and users themselves recognize what to do and what not to do,” says a Twitter spokesperson on the Mashable portal.
To avoid the problems experienced by Facebook, Twitter has decided to remove Cambrigde Analytica from its ads. They argue that their business model is not in line with Cambrigde Analytica.
