Private Twitter Circle posts being pushed to "For You" feeds

Twitter bug exposes private tweets to strangers

Several Twitter users have uncovered a bug in the platform that leaks private tweets shared in Twitter Circles on the main "For You" feed.

Twitter Circle is a feature that lets users send tweets to a "smaller" group of select people no larger than 150 members, rather than all Twitter users or all those that follow the original tweet poster.

I don’t know what Twitter has done to its algorithm, but it has really messed up my user experience. It is basically like the YouTube rabbit hole now, but with YouTube you can at least clean your trail and start anew (kinda).

To be on-topic, I have seen blocked tweets and one too many private tweets.
