Smart money is on "we copy/pasted the same thing we always send ISPs." (Unless Twitter started billing people recently and someone forgot to mention.)


That's the first thing I said when I looked at it. Are all the people who've merely subscribed to them on Twitter considered part of the investigation? That's quite scary to me.


I think that 'subscriber' refers to the account owner as they are 'subscribing' to Twitter's service (in the same way that your ISP considers you a subscriber).

Having re-read it a few more times, I think you're right. That's at least a little less concerning than I had originally thought.


That sounds more likely. I feel better.
