defender of liberty?<p>What&#x27;s anti-liberty about collecting information that people voluntarily show the world? I actually disagree with this decision on the basis that it just eliminates potential business opportunities for Twitter corp.<p>I mean, if I tweet something, I can&#x27;t then turn around and get angry at someone who approaches me and says, &quot;Hey, you ran at central park yesterday, I saw it on your twitter.&quot; or whatever, because I voluntarily chose to tweet it.<p>The same goes for anybody else, including intelligence agencies. I can&#x27;t read past the paywall but I googled around and to my understanding, it&#x27;s not even the intelligence agencies that are doing it to begin with. These other companies correlate all the data, structure it with an API they provide to the intelligence agencies. So at this point, there&#x27;s two different types of businesses now suffering from this decision.<p>I don&#x27;t even understand why I like twitter so much, they keep doing these stupid, stupid things!
