You are able to manually approve and select who is able to see your Tweets. The retweet function is disabled on Tweets you post, so anything you post remains entirely within your account. Your followers are NOT able to share your content, they can only favorite it. You are still able to retweet other public users though. Protected Tweets do not appear in search engines like Google and third party sites, like Favstar, are not able to archive them. Protected Tweets are only searchable by you, the owner of the Twitter account, and your followers.

Previously posted public Tweets will still be searchable in Google. Unless the user in question follows you too, mentions i. KatyPerry I love you!!!

How do I protect my Tweets? Glad you asked. To make your Tweets protected, follow these simple steps. On your home page, click the gear icon to see your Settings.
