"Revision history would still show"
Except in a distributed system like Twitter (including client and server) there is no single timeline, and amateur digital forensics will erroneously say "aha, but you retweeted it before it was edited"
- Spivak 6y agoAs long as RTs and likes are tied to a specific version of the Tweet then it's no real problem.
- kristiandupont 6y agoPerhaps, but you are talking about creating rather complex machinery in order to support a tiny feature. If the only argument in favor is engagement statistics (would those take edits into consideration as well?), I certainly see why Twitter doesn't care too much.
