Wrong context for that explanation.

The code snipped in Q 4437 was an example of what a Twitter user with a website would use to update the image Twitter displays to represent that website.

It was not code that Twitter itself would use. So it wasn't a "we have your code" demonstration to Twitter.

And what the code is for, is how website owners control how their site is represented in twitter posts - nothing to do with social media spying on people.

It's like thinking that handing someone the remote control for your TV is showing a deep secret for how the mainstream media accesses the 4am talking points. That's not how it works. Not all code is super-secret spyware stuff …
