But Twitter doesn’t want to be just another webpage. Tweets and its dates are used in court and by historians. That’s basically why Twitter has been hesitant to allow edits.
I kinda wish they let people add some text instead of allowing editing, like:
Wouldnt it be nice?
Added: * wouldn’t
I know deletions are still allowed, but they don’t lead to different content.
- eatonphil 4y agoI'm sure that web pages and their dates are used in court and by historians.
- awb 4y agoThe web has archive.org for that. Or, ‘download webpage’ from a browser.
- unholiness 4y agoArchive.org works on twitter too?
- zimpenfish 4y ago> Archive.org works on twitter too? Maybe if you're a famous celebrity etc. but it's scraped mine 5 times since 2007 (and the "expand conversation" links don't work) and I promise you that it has been fairly active ever since I signed up.
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoIs it Twitter's responsibility to be an accurate archive for courts and historians?
- mushyhammer 4y agoIt’s not the responsibility, but if you read their post it’s obviously their concern.
