%X Our paper approaches Twitter through the  lens of “platform politics” (Gillespie, 2010), focusing in particular  on controversies around user data access, ownership, and control. We  characterise different actors in the Twitter data ecosystem: private and  institutional end users of Twitter, commercial data resellers such as  Gnip and DataSift, data scientists, and finally Twitter, Inc. itself;  and describe their conflicting interests.
