One minute after my post on @narendramodi's #android app, the "App team" created a new Twitter profile to discuss with me. We had a nice discussion. In order to be fair, here their first answer.pic.twitter.com/4JbdoSefpt
You can add location information to your Tweets, such as your city or precise location, from the web and via third-party applications. You always have the option to delete your Tweet location history. Learn more
but as they have mentioned they are using a 3rd party as a vendor to consume the data for themselves and not give away the data.. however i do agree that if the vendor does have easy access but then the vendor would be at fault if it misuses it
Yup it would be their fault but still collecting any type of data without user's consent is illegal.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
