Twitter will begin clamping down on unauthorised police surveillance of its users.

Law enforcement were using the data to monitor protests and other gatherings.

Twitter's Moody says using its APIs and Gnip data products for surveillance of protests is "absolutely unacceptable".

"Recent reports about Twitter data being used for surveillance, however, have caused us great concern," Moody says

"Using Twitter’s Public APIs or data products to track or profile protesters and activists is absolutely unacceptable and prohibited."

"The fact that our public APIs and Gnip data products provide information that people choose to share publicly does not change our policies in this area."
