CurrentC’s API Potentially Returns Private Data ⇥ twitter.com

I mean, I was only kind of joking this weekend about how little the CurrentC consortium cares about user privacy, but look at this API call return. Outrageous.

Update: More from Nick Arnott at iMore. There’s nothing about CurrentC that’s designed in the users’ best interests; there’s a lot about it that seems designed to be in the interests of retailers and creepy advertisers.
