WikiLeaks wants to create a database of verified Twitter accounts

WikiLeaks tweeted Friday that it wanted to build a database of information about Twitter’s verified users, including personal relationships that might have influence on their lives. An account associated with Wikileaks tweeted Friday that the anti-secrecy organization wants to publish private data of thousands of verified Twitter users. "We are thinking of making an online database with all 'verified' twitter accounts & their family/job/financial/housing relationships," the WikiLeaks Task Force account tweeted. In response, Twitter tweeted out a statement shortly after the original WikiLeaks tweet: “Posting another person’s private and confidential information is a violation of the Twitter Rules.”
