Though I completely agree with the intention of your point, the same sort of logic can be used to justify all sorts of dubious "three letter" activity.

By that same logic, are you still an idiot if instead of a tweet, it was a facebook public post? How about a facebook post marked only visible to your friends? Or in an email to your brother's wife's third cousin?

I'm not a big fan of slippery slopes, but this one looks a bit lubricated.

The criteria for it getting on the front page is "anything an investigative journalist could get their hands on with a few days of dedicated searching, assuming they knew the person's name"

So tweets are in and public facebook messages are in, but private facebook messages and e-mails are out.
