Shouldn't this involve lots of penalties? This has the potential to change/ruin lives drastically. A prudent consumer never trusts what the companies say nowadays. However, that shouldn't absolve the company of falsely claiming private product when it isn't so.

Just my own opinion, but at this point I think it's prudent to assume that pretty much anything you send out into the digital network world is public. If it's not something you would want the world knowing you said, don't put it out there. Security breaches happen. Bugs happen. Sometimes law enforcement just comes by and says, "Give me everything that user X has ever done." In short, sh!t happens. "Everything I do on…
Totally agree. But where does that leave us with “The Cloud”?
for anything that you don't mind being publicly associated with you.

From reading the original notice [https://help.twitter.com/en/protected-tweets-android] it sounds like the setting would just be disabled, which then made your tweets public.

That's a pretty significant difference (also by the fact that such a huge thing was not noticed for 6 years I'm guessing not many people were actually impacted)
Also just for fun, I'd wager how it happened is that the developer had some "default request object" that had "true" as the default setting for this and merged it with the updated property values ;) a classic

A prudent consumer also doesn't send 'live-destroying' messages on a public, hosted messaging platform, regardless of a private setting... Note that this isn't even about DMs.
One of those others was accused in the Lloyds bank libor scandal, and the email came from the law firm they had hired.
Non-software people don’t have the faintest idea how computers work, and more than non-lawyers the law or non-economists money.
But the more time goes by, the less sad I get. Their tech stack is and always has been a bit of a garbage fire.

With a couple exceptions perhaps, like Signal or iMessage? But I agree; unless the service is part of a very small whitelist, assume it's public.
