Twitter accidently shared user’s location data with advertising partner

On Monday, Twitter said that it may have accidentally collected and shared some user’s location data who were accessing the app through apple devices with an advertising partner.

In a blog post later shared, the social media platform cleared the air by saying that the information collected was not retained and only existed in their systems for a short time and have informed those people whose accounts were impacted to let them know the bug has been fixed.

The advertising partner did not receive data such as user’s twitter handle or other unique account ids that could have compromised identity, the company said.
