Twitter made everyone's nude pictures public by accident
Twitter had a serious problem. As a result of it everyone's nude photos became public. Here are all the details.
Twitter Circle got broken, resulting in many serious problems. One of them being revealing everyone's nudes as public. The problem was noticed by users quickly and resulted in chaos. Twitter Circles was all about privacy. In a blog post unveiling the feature, the business said that the ability to restrict post access to a restricted group of users "makes it easier to have more intimate conversations and build closer connections with select followers." Yet it turned out just the opposite.

The feature, according to the group, gives Twitter users more control over how they appear online and enables them to express themselves in confidence. After it was broken though things have changed. Other users also expressed their concerns about the disruption.
"Twitter doesn't seem to be able to properly filter exclusive content before it's made available to users," Twitch former engineer Theo Browne told TechCrunch. Melissa Ingle, a former data scientist at Twitter, also described the incident as a "major breach of privacy".
