It’s good that they’re giving notice so you can download them. It is not Twitter’s responsibility to archive for all eternity.

- shard972 7y agoThe only thing twitter does is store and retrieve tweets. Giving 1 month notice before deleting a large set of them seems to be a short.

- syshum 7y agoI always love comments like this. At no point did I say they have a responsibility to archive them for all eternity. Further giving people 2 weeks of notice over a heavy holiday period were most people are consumed with other activities is not "giving notice" Further still it is just bad optics, PR is not about legal responsibility, not about technically being right, it is about how it looks to normal everyday people. Moves this like look bad to normal everyday people. It is moronic to pull a move like this over the year end holidays. They have chosen this because they think it will fly under the radar, that they can do it while everyone is busy with other things. I have a feeling this is going to back fire on them spectacularly Which is great because personally I think twitter is a net negative for society and its collapse will be good for humanity
