The president is a huge exception to the rule. 3 and a half years ago, I think (citation needed) it was found that Twitter was obligated to keep Trump tweets up because he is president and those are now official record. There was that whole big to do wat back then about him deleting one of his tweets and whether that was allowed or not.

- caymanjim 6y agoThat's entirely about the government's responsibility to retain records. Twitter has zero obligation.
