PCI is about payment cardholder data (credit card data). So, no, cause Twitter is free and you are not sending credit card data to them. However, if you applied the principals of PCI to all user data then possibly yes. The more valuable practice would be anti-phishing training for CS employees.

Anti-phishing training (and PCI in general) has made very little difference in my experience as a practitioner. Like most security remedies, there is no data to back up its efficacy, and no standard for how it should be done.

Yes, that is the charitable interpretation you could have safely assumed I meant.
