I thought during the last admin someone decided it was illegal for the President to delete tweets or block users because they become Presidential records as soon as they are created.

If we’re thinking about the same situation, it was whether the President can block people, thus excluding them from civic discourse. They can mute people but not block them.

Hypothetical scenario: if the Ministry of Truth erases all the records of an inconvenient event in the past, would it be "misinfornation" to mention that fact?

  Technically, if it was a fact it would be malinformation. https://www.cisa.gov/mdm https://www.cisa.gov/mdm https://theintercept.com/2022/10/31/social-media-disinformation-dhs/ https://theintercept.com/2022/10/31/social-media-disinformat... (paragraph 2)

    "Malinformation is based on fact, but used out of context to mislead, harm, or manipulate." - looks like revealing inconvenient truth falls under this umbrella.

Yeah, that aside I'm more interested in the White House deleting a tweet than the response to it. Seems a bit weird all around.
