Twitter says it 'inadvertently' used phone numbers and email addresses its users provided for account security purposes to target ads

In July, the Federal Trade Commission said Facebook had broken the law when it engaged in a similar practice. The FTC fined Facebook $5 billion for that and a litany of other instances where it mishandled user data. Twitter users are asked to provide information like their phone number to help secure their account through services such as two-factor authentication.
