That's a clickbait headline. It is clearly a support person that sees a list of addresses that could include the address of the user and uses their macro to tell the user to delete the tweet. Just like they would do if someone posts their password, date of birth or credit card information.

Exactly.

However, the support person should have been more explicit that the OT (original tweeterer ?) is sharing addresses and may want to hide that. The way support person's tweet was phrased is what gave the pitchfork people an opportunity. A perfect example of how not to communicate.

Unfortunately that also distracts from the intent of the OT's post.
