"If you want to act as a repository for the public record, you better use your own system."

I deliberately chose Twitter's JavaScript because I inspected the design of how it worked and saw that they had deliberately built it in a way that would respect my preferences for how deletion should be handled.

They've changed that on me - without even announcing the change. This is a rug-pull.

Now I have to replace their code with my own implementation, and they've hurt my trust.



Ask for your money back.


I normally hate comments like this but damn I laughed till I died when I read this. Take care tom


Comment made only 1/3 in jest. If you’re not paying, you can’t expect much.


Why should I? I demand payment in public opinion because I can. You needn’t care but Twitter will pay from those that do.


You joke, but Twitter Blue exists


Why did you trust them from the beginning? Serious question.


We trusted them because they were committed to being part of the wider web, and as you can see from Ben Ward's tweet at the time, took that seriously.


Naive at best, honestly. Twitter from their very beginning has screwed over developers who used their platform. So have many of the other companies in their cohort.


You mean like when they removed their public API in 2014 ?


Good. I hope you've learned that you shouldn't trust large companies.
