As part of the good updates on Twitter, Twitter Circles was introduced.
Like 'close friends' on Instagram, it was a feature to share out your tweets with only your closest and dearest.
It's been a ball since the update, however, as of recent, there have been tweets on the timeline talking about how twitterzens have had people outside their circles, reading and reacting to their 'circles' tweets.
Guys Twitter Circles is not safe. Someone outside of my twitter circles just liked a photo I posted in Circles.

What the hell is this bug
Heads up: it seems like Twitter Circles are broken now too, with Circle tweets appearing publicly on the For You tab shown to people who aren't in your Circle, and don't even follow you at all

twitter circles are officially being pushed to people who *arent* in them, so be wary everyone!

Yeah, Twitter circles are broken. Twice now in 12 hours I've had circle tweets get likes from people I don't even follow. Don't use circles for anything you don't want everyone to see because it's not private or safe like Twitter claims

Hey just PSA for my mutuals but there seems to be a glitch going on where you can sometimes get someones twitter circles on your fyp even if youre not in their circle/dont even follow them if one of your mutuals replies to it

Apparently it is a bug, and private tweets are being exposed to the public.
We can't say if this is for real, nevertheless, it would be wise to be wary about what you say on there, lest you don't mind non-consented users going through your thoughts.
Just a heads up guys!
