By posting something on twitter, the poster is automatically making it public knowledge.  A study analyzing this is only collecting data that is willingly being made publicly available.

The only issue that someone could have with this is that this is wasteful spending.  Even if I grant you the point that this is wasteful (which I do not), the fact that the government is inefficiently spending money is hardly ground breaking news.
