Yet the author's Twitter account still exists. Why wouldn't they delete it?
- lapcat 4y ago1) To prevent imposters. We already saw how this became a big problem with the blue checkmark fiasco. 2) I made it a practice to delete most of my tweets within a week, so there are only about 3000 tweets remaining. A lot of those are referenced by external links that I don't want to break. Some of my tweets have even appeared in news media stories. So it's about preservation of the web rather than preservation of Twitter itself.
