Twitter's new privacy policy brings a new set of Personalization and Data settings and while also expanding what's included in Your Twitter Data... so now you have a lot more control and transparency over how advertisers view you and your account and target you. This is ultimately how advertising companies grow up — by giving you more control over what third parties can see and know about you. Google and Facebook both do this, and have for some time.

@chrismessina This is super cool! ...doesn't it make Twitter less appealing to advertisers, though? Unless Twitter is shifting to a direct payment to users/creators from advertisers, why would anyone update this information honestly?

@chrismessina it's quite disappointing that they send the data in a PDF format.

@thewrongjoshua stunning accuracy!!
Rich Smith
@thewrongjoshua Reading this data had me giggling. To think people were worried about too much targeting potential. Age: 13-54 Interests: Golf ☑︎, Rap Music ☑︎, Kim Kardashian ☑︎, MP ☑︎ (Canadian Members of Parliment) 😂

@richjdsmith I'm listed as male and didn't even need to read further to know accuracy is seriously flawed. Even if I don't state it anywhere it makes me think they forgot to include at profile pics.

@thewrongjoshua One of my interests is named as "HaHa"..

Now I know what my IP address was on July 8th, 2008 at 8:29 PM 😂 It's great to see what kind of advertising data is formed around me and my interests and the ability to modify that for more relevant ads.

Not convinced by the user experience...

Nice move to make this transparent and configurable. A win win for customers and Twitter.
Anne Mai Bertelsen
Okay apparently I'm invisible. Are you trying to tell me something?
Marat Zakaryan
