⚡️👀 ARCHIVE - Twitter asked users for phone numbers and email addresses to secure their accounts, including for two-factor authentication, then used that data to target ads.
It did so by matching the data against advertisers' marketing lists.
More than 140 million users were affected from 2014 to 2019, the FTC says. Twitter called it an error and paid $150 million in 2022.
