Twitter bug disclosed some users' location data to an unnamed partner

Twitter bug disclosed some users' location data to an unnamed partner

Twitter on Monday afternoon disclosed a bug that in certain conditions resulted in an account's location data being shared with a Twitter partner -- even if the user had not opted in to sharing that data. The bug only affected a portion of Twitter's iOS user base, the company says, and they've since been notified of the issue. Affected users had more than one Twitter account on iOS, and had chosen to share their precise location using the optional feature in one account.
