This revelation just shows that doing the right thing depends on the accidental and rare "good guy" to hold their foot down. It's not something we can rely on.
The Elon Musk burn in that sense is distracting. He hasn't done anything in this direction yet. He very well may, but he hasn't. So it's a false accusation/speculation.
Counter to that, there is the fact that Twitter's legal and sales departments (pre-Musk) were totally cool with sending fine-grained location data to whoever pays for it.
Controversy should focus on actual events, not imaginary ones. As such, old Twitter has some explaining to do and it's worrying that no actual Telco is named. Finally, a quote like "other tech companies give us far more" should launch a swarm of journalists to dig as deep as possible.
