>Anyone affected by this should be suing twitter for even collecting this information! My friend can give away my phone number because of this data collection.

If you made some agreement as to how your friend could use your phone number and 'sharing with Twitter' is a violation then you could sue them I suppose. Annoying as this data collection is, labeling information about you as only yours is incorrect, it's your friends and Twitters's (and Google/FB/AMZ/etc.) information too.
