To follow someone on Twitter, simply means you receive updates from that person/group. Updates on Twitter are short messages (140 characters or less). These updates are known as tweets. And anyone who follows you will see your tweets you have made on their wall when they sign in.
It means they have protected their updates. In other words, it is a privacy setting that allows only the people who follow them (which they have approved) to see all their Twitter updates.
Anyone that was following you before you protected your account can still see your tweets/activity unless you block them or they unfollow you.Once your account is protected, only those people that you accept can follow you and view your Twitter activity.
It allows them to view your tweets and follow you whereas they wouldn't be able to do that if they remained blocked.
You can tweet someone even if their account is protected.
You only receive follower requests if you have protected your tweets. This means users can send you a request to follow you. You can choose to accept or deny the request. If you accept it then that user will be able to follow you and view your tweets.
If you have protected tweets, you will see a follower request on the right hand side sidebar of your homepage. Click on it and you can decide if you want to accept or deny the request. If you don't have protected tweets, anyone can follow you without your permission.
