Firenze Sage: You have no secrets … [Twitter, Facebook, social media]

Everything you post on social media can and may be used against you.
In their undercover investigation, James Oâ€Keefe and other Project Veritas reporters secretly recorded Twitter employees as they allegedly revealed the extent the platform surveils users.
“Everything you send is stored on my server. You canâ€t [delete it], itâ€s already on my server now,†declared Direct Messaging Engineer Panay Singh. “So all your sex messages and your, like, dick pics are on my server now. All your illegitimate wives, and, like, all the girls youâ€ve been fucking around with, they are on my server now.â€
“Iâ€m going to send it to your wife, sheâ€s gonna use it in your divorce,†he joked. “So what happens is, like, when you write stuff or when you post pictures online, they never go away. Like, theyâ€re always on there… Even after you send them, people are, like, analyzing them, to see what youâ€re interested in, to see what youâ€re talking about, and they sell that data… Everything. Anything you post online.â€
Mihai Florea, a software engineer at the company, corroborated Singhâ€s claims.
“Thatâ€s how we make most of our money,†he explained. “Youâ€re basically paying for the right to use our website with your data basically, and itâ€s the same on every free website.
