It's unfortunate that all those permalinks to his old tweets are dead. A lot of other tweets, blog posts, and news articles are now broken.

- chrononaut 6y agoIt doesn't universally solve the problem, but a given platform or website might be able to make changes to rewrite links to include the archive.org prefix to make them functional again. Still requires work, but perhaps a tiny step in making them somewhat accessible again.
- croon 6y agoYou could probably fix that with a small userscript, if so inclined.
- zinekeller 6y agoThis (and going private in Twitter) is the reason BBC uses screenshots instead of direct embeds (the link is still on the text and/or caption).
- xref 6y agoWished a lot more outlets did this because Twitter embeds rarely load for me on mobile. For ex in Apple News or Safari any Twitter embeds are just a spinning loading wheel of death
- jonny_eh 6y agoThe problem there is that it's easy to fake a tweet via an image. Not a big problem for the BBC since they're fairly trustworthy.
