This is, of course, yet another ruse.
They just come out with this stuff for public consumption when trust is failing, then give access right back to the same spies through a different route.
Sometimes, I think these stories are just completely made up.
Never trust any only company with your data.

Twitter has blocked the British government and its domestic spy agency MI5 from accessing data on potential terrorist threats in a bid to tackle its “surveillance” plans, according to the Telegraph.
Twitter will impede police and the intelligence service attempts to gather user data to identify terrorist plots.
Government ministers have slammed the company over the move, but their criticism seems to have been in vain.
Twitter allows the government to access profiles as freely as any other user, but opposes any attempt to pull data for the purpose of surveillance.
In a post in November, Twitter’s Vice-President Chris Moody expressed the company’s commitment to “social justice.”
“Recent reports about Twitter data being used for surveillance… have caused us great concern. As a company, our commitment to social justice is core to our mission and well established. And our policies in this area are long-standing,” he wrote in a blog post.
Moody then turned to slam the indiscriminate use of APIs, or application program interfaces, consisting of a series of codes and functions through which developers can create new apps in pre-existing platforms like Twitter.
“Using Twitter’s Public APIs or data products to track or profile protesters and activists is absolutely unacceptable and prohibited.”
Although the company has blocked police and MI5 access for the purpose of snooping on user data, it still sells data to developers seeking public trends and interests through Gnip, a former start-up which is now part of Twitter.
“Over the coming months, you’ll see us take on expanded enforcement and compliance efforts, including adding more resources for swiftly investigating and acting on complaints about the misuse of Twitter’s Public APIs and Gnip data products,” Moody added.
Twitter has already blocked the CIA from accessing its data after it emerged it had signed a deal with Dataminr, a third party company which is also thought to have been working with the Home Office.
Twitter owns five percent of Dataminr, the only company having real time access to its data.
The British spy agencies already have all of the CIA’s zero days for all this crap anyway, so the entire thing is irrelevant.
