@Tempo @serenity Well, 'Twitter staff can read DMs' is a bit of an understatement.

"Private" direct messages can be read by any third party app to which you've given Twitter #OAuth permission.

The big difference is that when client apps, be it for Twitter or just a regular old e-mail client reads your content - it's working as intended.

If twitter staff does, they're not.

Assuming they're breaking user agreements etc.
