Hi folks, I totally agree with the arguments you all have posted here. This is already public information, the bot is just making it more explicit.
One may also put it in different terms: if it was NSA who was organizing such public information but not sharing their findings? I don't think privacy concerns apply to information people already choose to make public. On the contrary, they should be made more aware of the reaching/consequences of their decision to make a given information public, not less aware. regards, Miguel On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 8:04 AM, Erkan Yilmaz <[email protected]> wrote: > Selam, > > For me it's OK to use. > > Though, you could offer people who don't like it that you exclude them > from the announcements. > > I think it's a good thing that you are running this bot, it opens some > people's eyes about what is hidden here and what not, and that they should > be careful then. > > Another Erkan ;-) > > > On Thu, Feb 26, 2015 at 10:49 AM, erkan_yuksel via twister-users < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I have started a bot (@newfollowers) which annonces new *"public" *following >> with twister posts like '@user1 has followed @user2 @user3...' >> >> But I think someones have some concerns about privacy.
