Twitter accuses Microsoft of data policy violation.
Twitter has accused Microsoft of violating its data use policy by improperly using Twitter data, using more than what it was supposed to, and sharing that data with government agencies without permission. Microsoft had used Twitter data via its API for years in several products, including those related to Xbox, Bing, and its advertising tools. It's unclear if this event will culminate into a lawsuit, but Twitter is demanding that Microsoft examine the data use of its apps.
