> I know this is not how most sites operate these days, but consider that your visitor wants to visit you and getting your website. Whenever you embed stuff from other servers you not only gift away your user-data and breach their trust, you just doubled your attack surface and lowered the reliability of your site.

The vast majority of people do not care nor even think about this. They might instead for example find it useful to see Twitter embeds right inline of the page rather than load the site externally.

I find it useful, but I find it even more useful when the tweet content is copied to the site instead of embedded because it's still there when the tweet is deleted or Elon decides it's not profitable to allow embedding tweets.
