It bothers me that Twitter is frequently considered an original source, and yet comments can be deleted willy-nilly. It's too close to 1984-esque Newspeak. The HN model seems much better: You can only delete comments for some amount of time after initially posting; after that, they're fixed in stone.
(But I am glad this new council is somewhat bipartisan!)

- catwell 10y agoI didn't know that one, I did use http://twister.net.co/ http://twister.net.co/ some time ago (and gave up because of the chicken/egg effect).
- otalp 10y agoYeah but it's usually archived immediately, especially for popular accounts so there's no chance of denying the tweets existence.
- mej10 10y agoThe issue with that is that you have to trust the archive now as well.
