The Twitter terms of service prohibit sharing the data in the Tweets. Researchers are allowed to share tweet IDs and User IDs which can be used to identify a Tweet. Currently, Twitter collections are shared using this method -- I recently released a dataset of 120 million Tweet IDs which cover a sample of a months worth of data, and numerous other researchers have used these IDs to crawl Twitter and obtain the same dataset as I used in my experiments.
