Twitter Anonymous Users’ Information Exposed Complaint

January 13, 2023

Twitter, Inc. runs a worldwide social media platform that the complaint for this class action calls “a digital, modern-day version of the public square.” Some users have chosen to remain anonymous in their use of Twitter, but the complaint alleges that a problem with Twitter’s application programming interface (API) in 2021 and 2022 permitted hackers to “scrape” personally identifiable information (PII) from Twitter and link usernames to email addresses (which may include real names) and telephone numbers.
