Why would a newspaper article that regurgitates the Twitter thread be any better? If the source is Twitter then I much prefer a link to Twitter.

- jazzyjackson 5y agoBut the news isn’t that somebody on Twitter found this license issue, the news is that there’s a license issue. A tweet could be a good tip for a journalist to do journalistic things like finding out if its true and writing up some context of how this has happened before and what GPL is, that way the story can be understood by a wider audience. Twitter is popular for people obsessed with hearing the latest rumor, but if TikTok is an illegal fork of OBS, I’d rather hear a few days later the well researched details - or if its a nothingburger overreaction, then I’d rather not hear about it at all.
