USA:'Circle' tweets were made public due to a security error that Twitter has acknowledged. Users were informed via emails from the platform. In general, Circle tweets are only meant to be seen by a select group of reliable followers and friends. The public could see them, though, due to a bug. Twitter's technical team says they have identified the cause of the problem, which has since been fixed. A security flaw that allowed private tweets intended only for the Circle to which they were posting to cross the containment line and be seen by users outside of their Circle was discovered by many Twitter Circle users at the beginning of April. As a result, it caused some awkward situations among users and had serious consequences for those who posted gossip, complaints about their jobs, etc. For a while, Twitter Circle's bugs persisted, posing a serious problem for users who had been using the feature to tweet things they only wanted to share with close friends. Several users claimed that people outside of their Twitter Circle liked their personal posts. The tweets slipped through the crack and were seen by unauthorised people.

Even worse, some users claimed that other Twitter users who weren't already following them had seen their Circle tweets.
