while in private if i mention someone will they receive it? wouldn't that be granting permission or do they HAVE to be following me?

everything i try to look up about it is unclear or dated from a while ago and not sure if that has changed

I've looked around for answer to that to. From what I hear as long they have set in their settings they will revive a notice when their mentioned.

If you mention them in a tweet, they can read it. Private or not, as far as I can tell. If you want to test it out, please let me know. I?m game.

They are not suppose to. I did a brief test and the mentioned person did not receive it.

I know you have to be following someone to send a DM and I *think* a recipient has to be following you to receive a DM from you. I'm not certain, however.
