I, for one, know that there is a thing called "Google" that I use for solving mysteries like these. Plus, applied in a general context, do you expect Twitter now to contact every email address posted on the platform to check back with the owner on the legality of disclosing the email address to the public?

Obviously you can't police the world, but if there is a system that prevents abuse that they have the ability to use, I see no reason not to use it.

Also, this has nothing to do with legality, only TOS/privacy policy violations that you agree to when you sign up.
