Twitter---The need for privacy?

So, one of the main difference between Facebook and Twitter when it comes to advertising your business on one of them the privacy setting.
When you create a Twitter page for your business, it assumes the same role as your personal Twitter and Facebook pages---there is regulation to privacy.
When dealing with businesses my first instinct is to say “Yes, keep it open.” Then you run into everyone and their brother (truthfully, their brothers) can follow you.
Of course the good, everyone can see your business on Twitter comes with the bad. Everyone, including those who in their brief introduction of themselves outline some major red flags, can follow your business on Twitter.
But  isn’t it---the one with the most followers wins. Or not. This is a tough call. My business is open and I take the good (new local business owners that follow me) with the bad (those who have R rated okay, NC-17 businesses or hobbies follow me).
Weigh in----private or public for your business when it comes to Social Media?
Facebook Fan Pages when open to the public, anyone can join---there is no accept or deny.
