I use Tweet Delete[0] to auto-delete my tweets older than a month. I see no value in keeping old tweets around, especially compared to the risk that I inadvertently become briefly well-known and some wokes decide to trawl my timeline, take some tweet from 12 years ago out of context and convince my employer that I'm racist or something. Seen it happen too many times. [0] https://tweetdelete.net/ https://tweetdelete.net/

deleting tweets is somewhat pointless when you consider existence of things like wayback machine.

  I was surprised to find Twitter doesn't block their crawler. https://web.archive.org/web/20061109101219/http://twitter.com/public_timeline https://web.archive.org/web/20061109101219/http://twitter.co...

  The Wayback Machine isn't searchable, or at least not nearly as searchable as Twitter itself. If I have a fight with you now, I can just go to search.twitter.com and put in "bad word from:AzzieElbab" and find any of your bad tweets. To use the Wayback Machine to get you in trouble, I have to know ahead of time what you said and at what URL to use it against you later.
