While privacy seems like a concept lost on Facebook, Twitter is showing that it understands its users’ need for security by supporting Mozilla Firefox’s “Do Not Track” feature, a day before Facebook is set to raise billions in its IPO.
Federal Trade Commission CTO Ed Felten announced Twitter’s adoption of the feature today during a panel at Internet Week New York, the New York Times reports. Naturally, Twitter confirmed the news via a tweet.
Firefox users will now be able to enable the “Do No Track” feature – which lets you opt out of cookies that track personal data and online movements — when viewing Twitter’s website. Most Twitter users interact with the service via its site, but it’s unclear if Twitter will be offering any additional privacy features for users of its mobile and desktop apps. We’ve dropped a line into the company for further clarification.
