Project Veritas just blew the lid off of Twitter’s little game.
The Drudge Report has such a way with words.
Long story short, Project Veritas just released video, showing Twitter engineers ADMITTING that Twitter employees analyze your private messages and use them to “create a ‘virtual profile’ of you which they sell to advertisers.”
“Twitter is aggressively harvesting your personal information and tracking your every movement, selling your virtual dossier to the highest bidder ” James O’Keefe said. “Even more alarming is that these Twitter employees don’t seem to think that they are the ‘biggest brother’ out there… We have more to come – stay tuned.”
The footage features four current Twitter software engineers–Conrado Miranda, Clay Haynes, Pranay Singh, and Mihai Alexandru Florea.
Haynes, who was featured in part one of the Twitter exposé, admitted in a January 6, 2018 meeting that Twitter has hired hundreds employees with the express purpose of looking at these “d*ck pics,” stating:
“There’s teams dedicated to it. I mean, we’re talking, we’re talking three or four… at least, three or four hundred people… Yes, they’re paid to look at d*ck pics.”
Haynes continues to elaborate that even he himself has seen these “d*ck pics”
“I’ve seen way more penises than I’ve ever wanted to see in my life.”
“That’s, yeah… You know, actually… This sounds horrible, but I’m actually glad and fortunate it’s just dicks, it’s just blow job pictures, it’s just that type of stuff.”
1. EW.
2. Holy crap.
Pranay Singh, a Direct Messaging Engineer for Twitter corroborated Haynes claims in a meeting with a Project Veritas journalist on January 5, 2018:
“Everything you send is stored on my server… So all your sex messages and you, like, d*ck pics are on my server now…”
“All your illegitimate wives and, like, all the girls you’ve been f*cking around with, they’re are on my server now… I’m going to send it to your wife, she’s going use it in your divorce.”
“So, what happens is like, you like, write something or post pictures on line, they never go away… Because even after you send them, people are like analyzing them, to see what you are interested in, to see what you are talking about. And they sell that data.”
Clay Haynes straight up said, “It is a creepy Big Brother. It’s like a level… I don’t want to say it freaks me out, but it disturbs me.”
MAJOR PRIVACY BREACH: @Twitter has a "virtual profile" on all users – even those without accounts – which is sold to advertisers. "You're paying for the right to use our website with your data basically." pic.twitter.com/m3win7S39M

Anyone still using Twitter DMs for personal conversations is incredibly naive. https://t.co/lBDwm1Cvr4

You would think @Twitter would tell its employees to stop talking about inside secrets to anyone considering James O'Keefe comes out with a new undercover Twitter video every week now. https://t.co/4ZEK1mcAek

You don't find a team of 300-400 people, specifically instructed to look at "d*ck pics" disturbing? https://t.co/f3hroboQF8

Hi @BuzzFeedBen , you have tech executives on camera with video and audio saying, "All your sex messages… d*ck pics… like, all the girls you've been f*cking around with, they're are on my server now…" if @BuzzFeed won’t mention this, what is worth covering in the Valley ? pic.twitter.com/L5HDeUCxFQ

I’m not surprised by this at all. We need to assume that everything we’re putting on social media will be seen by someone who shouldn’t see it. Period. This is the world we live in. Nothing is private anymore.
