Twitter To Establish Information Security Program 72
An anonymous reader writes "Twitter has agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that it deceived consumers and put their privacy at risk by failing to safeguard their personal information, marking the 30th case the FTC has brought targeting faulty data security, and the agency's first such case against a social networking service. Under the terms of the settlement, Twitter will be barred for 20 years from misleading consumers about the extent to which it maintains and protects the security, privacy, and confidentiality of nonpublic consumer information, including the measures it takes to prevent authorized access to information and honor the privacy choices made by consumers."

Well, gee, I'm glad they'll be able to resume misleading consumers in 2030.

Hell, in half that time no one will be admitting that they were a "Twit."
Kinda like how it is now with Friendster.
