Earlier today, we were informed by Twitter of an issue in which direct messages sent using the SMS convention “D username” that were greater than 140 characters, and therefore posted on public websites maintained by our partners TMI.me and Twitlonger, could be discovered by people other than the intended recipient. Since we are extremely...
