Twitter announced a new policy earlier this month stating that: if you share an image or video of someone w/out their consent, the company can take it down — unless it’s in the public interest to leave it up. @Tatum_Hunter_ clears up some uncertainties: https://t.co/4qEhaiLZ7o — PolitiTweet.org

Beware Life360, a family "safety" app used by 33M people globally as a way for parents to track kids' movements. @jonkeegan & @alfredwkng found the app is one of the largest suppliers of location data, selling user info to about a dozen data brokers. https://t.co/HfuRPbPxI0 — PolitiTweet.org

Ever wonder if your phone is listening to you to deliver hyper-targeted ads? While that is a myth, the reality of how much data tracking is happening to profile you even creepier. @Tatum_Hunter_ explains. https://t.co/h79uq0q6Hs — PolitiTweet.org

If you deactivate your Facebook account, FB "continues appending new data shared by other companies to the account, unless pre-existing privacy settings (not the default) prevent it." Your best bet? #DeleteFacebook for a permanent solution. https://t.co/SOpVFaOfKX — PolitiTweet.org
