TL;DR Summary

Twitter finally admitted that its Circle feature, which allows users to share tweets with a select group of followers, had a "security incident" that made supposedly private tweets accessible to outsiders. Some users were able to access sensitive or private information, including nude images not meant for people outside their group. Twitter did not explain why the issue occurred but claimed to have fixed it and is committed to protecting users' privacy. The platform has faced technical issues and polarization since Elon Musk took over, with monetization efforts leading to increased polarization and routine glitches.
