Good article outlining the ubiquity of the surveillance-based adtech business model in mainstream technology (you are being tracked on @guardian’s web site as you read @safiyanoble’s article, for example).
Problem acknowledged.
Now, time for solutions:

Does Twitter surveil us the way Facebook does? I understand that it must be keeping a record of all our likes, tweets/replies, & DMs. Plus followers/following. Videos watched. I guess it can log our IP addresses & the GPS data from our pix (before it strips them). What else?

Yep; same business model. Also across the web (anywhere there are embedded tweets or tweet buttons) & all these companies also purchase data from third parties. But only they know exactly what they do with it all as there’s no algorithmic transparency. We must regulate for that.
