Lots of ppl already do this on twitter itself - instead of quoting or replying, they'll screenshot another tweet and embed it. I suspect they're trying to defend against the tweet being deleted, but they've just opened up a whole new front of potential abuse - I treat all such fake embeds as suspicious, and I would if they were published on a website too.
