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.

From 1984: The mutability of the past is the central tenet of Ingsoc. Past events, it is argued, have no objective existence, but survive only in written records and in human memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records and in equally full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it. It also follows that though the past is alterable, it never has been altered in any specific instance. For when it has been recreated in whatever shape is needed at the moment, then this new version IS the past, and no different past can ever have existed.
