Social media platform Twitter launched its “Twitter Circle” feature last year. An issue occurred with this feature, which provides an important privacy perimeter within the app. This issue was about others seeing a user’s private Tweets. Twitter, on the other hand, made a confession about this problem.
Twitter acknowledged the problem.
Twitter, owned by Elon Musk, has introduced a feature that provides users with a hidden space in the past years. This feature, called Twitter Circle, allows users to send private Tweets to people they choose. He can also share his thoughts with groups of his choice.
There has been a problem in the past months with this area where only the people you choose are included. Many people using this feature stated that the private Tweets they shared were also seen by outsiders. Thus, it turned out that people who were not selected by the users also saw and liked these Tweets.
This is a very important problem especially for users who make private shares by relying on Twitter’s privacy. After the events, Twitter made a statement about the problem a few days ago. About the situation in question, users who had problems were reached via e-mail.
In the e-mail shared by the users, it turned out that the company accepted the problem. However, it became clear that many private Tweets were seen by others. In addition, Twitter added that this issue was understood by the security team. In addition, he stated that the problem was solved in a short time.
Users who are not in the Twitter Circle cannot see private posts, as the company has resolved the issue. Twitter did not give any explanation as to why this problem arose. Instead, he stated that they are very determined to protect the privacy of their users and they will work for it.
