Don’t want any remnants of idiotic tweets by celebs and politicians.

IMO anyone who depended on the alleged immutability of an old tweet is crazy. Do you really think Twitter itself (the staff) couldn't make edits to old tweets.

C'mon man!

"Matter of public record" my a$$. Tweets aren't worth the electrons they're displayed with.

The feature has prompted concerns that users will be able to edit statements that are an important matter of public record.

I actually disagree with the edit button for this very reason. One thing that Facebook (and DU, of all places) do is allow you to read the original content of any post that has been edited.

Often I wish FR had an edit feature, mostly so I could fix typos, but it has a preview feature so, really, all typos are my own fault. Ultimately, the lack of an edit feature preserves the integrity of the forum.

I do think that we should be able to self-delete posts, as every other forum will allow you to do. However, the mods here have always been receptive whenever I've asked them to delete a post of mine for whatever reason.

Should read the contents of the tweet, throw it in your system and skin it like a tweet.

To see the original text you can disable Javascript in your browser.

Browsers kind of need Javascript working.

On here, you can sometimes find the text of a deleted post in the replies to it.

Don’t link. Snip the Tweet and save and use it as an image.

What I found interesting is there are sites that retain the deleted tweets. Bookmarking, so I can look them up later.
