Lack of edits is an important anti-abuse feature. If you can edit a tweet, you can make a tweet saying one thing, and then edit it to say something entirely different after someone else retweets, links, or embeds it elsewhere..
(Though frankly, given how poorly they've handled other abuse-related issues, I doubt this is their reasoning)
- pier25 7y agoShould be feasible to show a list of edits and avoid that
- davidw 7y agoSo give people 1 minute or something and maybe don't show it until that time period is up.

- nradov 7y agoThat's a silly argument. Facebook and all other blogging platforms allow editing posts. It isn't a real problem.
