Twitter has made some revisions to its Tell us
Found an error or have a suggestion? Let us know and we'll review it.
"The revisions more appropriately reflect the nature of Twitter and convey key issues such as ownership. For example, your tweets belong to you, not to Twitter,"
As far as APIs, Stone says developers using Twitter APIs authorize Twitter to make content available. There is a separate set of guidelines for APIs that can be found here.
The Tweet ownership stuff has already received some criticism for further clouding an already unclear subject. "If Twitter can do what they want with ‘our’ tweets, including reproduction for their own (financial) gain, what do we actually 'own'?"
Twitter's terms of service are not necessarily finalized though. Stone made it quite clear that they are still open to feedback, and will make adjustments if they deem them necessary. There is even a feedback link right on the terms page. So if you have concerns about anything within, don't hesitate to let Twitter know.
Would you miss your past tweets if you no longer had access to them one day?
