We've designed app graph to exclude apps that appear to be especially sensitive, such as ones dealing with your health, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.

I was alarmed until I read this. It is really nice of them to choose to keep our sensitive private information private. Thanks Twitter!

( Of course I completely trust Twitter to make the right decision on which apps are considered sensitive. )

The sarcasm is strong in this one. Hopefully.

I feel sorry for the apps that are trying hard to fit in and "appear" unsensitive. They probably still get snooped. That must really hurt their feelings.
