A Few kinks and Privacy Issues Twitter  Still Needs Work Out

It's easy to see the benefits of the new Twitter Tip Jar feature on Twitter. You can now send money for free with a simple tweet.  Which is great if you're in need of some quick cash and don't have any other options readily available.

However, there are already some privacy issues that Twitter will have to work out for the "Tip Jar"

As spotted by Rachel Tobac, sending tips through Paypal using Tip Jar currently allows whoever is sending the money (the tipper to see the recipient’s address.  Understandably, this is definitely a BIG security issue. Hopefully, Twitter and Paypal will resolve it very soon. 

In an update later Thursday, May 6th, Twitter's support account tweeted: “updating our tipping prompt and Help Center to make it clearer that other apps may share info between people sending/receiving tips, per their terms."

Twitter acknowledged this problem and promised more updates were coming as they "continue working closely" with PayPal on these concerns."
