Privacy Betrayed as Twitter Sells Archive

I’m still at RSA, and busy so this will be quick. This story cropped up on my news feed this morning: “Privacy betrayed: Twitter sells multi-billion tweet archive”. Some quick thoughts:

I’ll be interested to see if this story gets picked up elsewhere and spun-up until it ends up on CNN as some large scandalous injustice. Who knows, maybe if it does become a big story it will help the public realize that if they say something publicly on the Internet everyone will have access to it.

On a positive note, I’m getting a fantastic vibe at RSA and meeting some great people. I’ll try to wrap it all up in a post this weekend.
