"Twitter has broken every rule of being a good distributor of third-party code." Yes, and you've broken every rule of common sense by thinking that their goals are your goals and they have any interest in being a 'good' anything besides profitable. You are embedding code from a a money making bot. To expect them to host deleted tweets forever as some public record is absurd.
- jakelazaroff 5y agoOkay, but they’re not “hosting” anything (other than the script). They could take down the server with that script on it and the markup would show up fine. If Twitter went out of business tomorrow, all these tweets would magically show up again. But no, they’re going out of their way to break your webpage. That is absurd.
- mgamache 5y agoYou are using content from twitter on your page and then using a script from twitter to format the content, right? You've seeded control on how it's displayed. They changed their mind on how to format the content. You are responsible for your page no one else.
- jakelazaroff 5y agoThis is kinda like asking someone who just got robbed “Why did you leave your door open? You’re responsible for your home no one else.” That’s true, but it’s still not okay to rob people!
