I think the assumption is that the tweets will go away. Look at the twitter search; I mean, they can't seem to search tweets more than a few days/weeks old.

- spullara 14y agoEvery public, non-deleted tweet is easily available via the API or a URL. The search index is time limited.
- Firehed 14y agoThey don't prioritize finding historical data, which is why the permalink URL is all the more important. There are (or at least were) third-party services dedicated solely to finding older Twitter data. Again, this is no different than any web resource. We even have an HTTP header specifically to indicate content has been deleted.
