What @2 said. Twitter is part of the Advertising-Industrial Complex, and has zero interest in maintaining your privacy, except insofar as "privacy" means "making your aggregated personal data available to everyone at a profitable yet reasonable cost".

I give her three months before she sells us out to her first big media company.

Most of the appointments thus far in the glorious Second Term have been special interests or major Obama donors. Color me surprised that Paul Constant thinks this is a good thing.

Twitter has already been sued in Canada for violating privacy.

But, hey, whatever.

Paul, the only reason Twitter has a better privacy reputation than Facebook is because Twitter is fundamentally an always-public experience. There is no widespread usage of privacy on Twitter. It's all public, all the time. I guarantee you that if they had built their system with the privacy options Facebook has, they would do just as shitty a job as Facebook.
