Twitter Use of Private Info and Violation of Consent Order Complaint

August 15, 2022

Twitter, Inc. operates a popular online communication service that has some 330 million monthly users around the world. The complaint for this class action alleges, however, that Twitter makes a “surreptitious and undisclosed” use of Twitter users’ private information, for advertising and marketing, and eventually, for its own profit. The complaint also alleges that in doing so, Twitter violated an earlier Federal Trade Commission (FTC) order against it.
