TL;DR Summary

Twitter users have reported that their Circle-limited tweets are sometimes appearing in public timelines, contrary to expectations. Twitter Circles are a way for users to limit the reach of their tweets to only the people they choose, such as family or coworkers, to include in their Circle. The bug may hurt whatever trust is left in Twitter and could be considered a data privacy breach under EU law.
