| A Twitter bug is baffling some of the social media platform's users Wednesday by inserting tweets in their timelines from people they don't follow.

Twitter is based on a follow model, which means tweets should appear in someone's timeline only when posted by someone they've elected to follow, or when retweeted by someone they've followed.
