Re: [Air-L] Library of Congress Acquires Entire (Public) Twitter Archive

I don't see how this could threaten the privacy of users any more so than the Internet Archive (archive.org funded by Library of Congress) is threatening when archiving a blog. On Apr 15, 2010, at 3:47 AM, Liz wrote:

Some online commentators raised the question of whether the library’s Twitter archive could threaten the privacy of users. Mr. Raymond said that the archive would be available only for scholarly and research purposes. Besides, he added, the vast majority of Twitter messages that would be archived are publicly published on the Web. _______________________________________________
