PSA: Twitter "Find Friends" on cell phones, copies email addresses and phone numbers to their servers!

Full story here at LA Times, also picked up by Naked Security Blog here, and though those stories are focusing on the iPhone, the LA Times article states "mobile users" not just iPhones.

The Register's article, specifically mentions "iOS and Android clients."


The LA Times story originally said that Twitter was storing names from address book as well as email and phone numbers, which is what Twitter told them originally, but they have an update/correction at the end of their story, stating that Twitter now says that it is just email and phone numbers.


Makes me feel a bit more strongly that we should have a Digital Bill of Rights, here in the USA.
