Authorities accuse Twitter of deceiving its users from 2013 to 2019. The company not only used telephone numbers and e-mail addresses to protect user accounts, but also “to target users with advertising,” it said. A total of 140 million people were affected. Twitter acknowledged the allegations in a statement. The agreement, which has yet to be approved by a judge, stipulates that the company will improve its privacy practices.
