It's a little relevant. Twitter limits what you can see when you're logged out now, and if Twitter were breached your personally identifying information could leak out and put you in a dangerous situation.
it's a little relevant if you're the person sharing sensitive information that the government is trying to suppress. And if you're doing that, then yeah, take steps to keep yourself safe.
if you're just trying to read information, like 99% of the people on twitter, then it's not really relevant. it's an unlikely hypothetical in the first place that twitter leaks those phone numbers, but no government is using phone numbers to hunt down consumers of information.
A surprising amount of timely information from public institutions (everything from road conditions to "it's not a real nuclear attack[0]") is often much more accessible via Twitter than anywhere else.
Which have terrible discovery compared to social media. Make a website about a hobby and you're unlikely to get many views. Post it on social media and you'll get way more
