Twitter confirms Circle tweets temporarily were not private
Reading Time: < 1 minutes‘In April 2023, a security incident may have allowed users outside of your Twitter Circle to see tweets that should have otherwise been limited to the Circle to which you were posting,’ the email said. Twitter claims that the bug has now been fixed, and that the team knows what caused it.
Twitter Circle has been buggy for months, which is concerning for a feature that people use to tweet things they don’t want to share with all of their followers. When we reported on the issue last month, numerous users had been tweeting that people outside of their Circle were liking their private tweets; one user even said that she posted nude photos on her Circle, which slipped through the cracks and surfaced for unintended eyes.
Most often, it seemed that Circle tweets were being surfaced in the For You timeline to users who follow the poster, but were not in their Circle. Others reported that their Circle tweets were reaching even further than those who follow them.
In moments like these, I remember something that former Twitter Trust & Safety head Yoel Roth said shortly after leaving the company.
‘If protected tweets stop working, run, because that’s a symptom that something is deeply wrong.’
