I unchecked my location data. They never had a phone number from me. Info on how to delete these is in the linked article. I'm not deleting my account..... so far.
Twitter is reportedly making plans to sell your location data, too.
According to a new report on Platformer, after alienating advertisers and losing revenue, Twitter plans to sell location data and phone numbers to advertisers, whether you like it or not. Now is a great time to remove that information from your account. Even if Musks platform never implements these changes, youre probably better off removing that data if youre concerned.
