Twitter Calls Expose Users' IP Addresses, Privacy Concerns Raised Over Default Settings
- Elon Musk enabled audio/video calling in Twitter by default, exposing users' IP addresses
- Calls are peer-to-peer by default, allowing both parties to see each other's IP addresses
- Users can enable "Enhanced call privacy" to relay calls through Twitter's infrastructure and mask IP addresses
- It's unclear if calls are end-to-end encrypted, leaving open the possibility of eavesdropping
- By default, calls can come from all followers; settings allow limiting calls to contacts, verified users, or disabling altogether
