Twitter backtracks on controversial change over deleted tweets

Twitter has rolled back a change that makes it harder for people to keep tweets after they’ve been deleted
The change included that if the tweet was deleted from “Twitter”, it would completely disappear from the websites that you include it in its texts, and a “vast empty space” appears in its place.
The deleted tweets from Twitter accounts remained in the form of “written texts” on the websites that included them, and this helped maintain the context of the topics that were discussing those tweets, and they are often relied on as evidence of their owners’ positions on politicians and public figures, such as former US President Donald Trump.

And Twitter announced in an email to The Verge yesterday, Saturday, that that change has been rolled back, and a vast blank space will no longer appear in the place of deleted tweets on the sites you include.
A Twitter spokesperson said: “After looking at the comments we’ve heard, we’re reversing this change at the moment as we explore different options, and we appreciate those who have shared their views. Your feedback helps us improve Twitter.”
Twitter did not say what kind of “different options” it might try, rather than the vast empty space in place of the deleted tweet.

The first to notice the change of “Twitter” about the deleted tweets was the editor in the field of technology, Kevin Marks, last Wednesday, and asked the American company a question about whether it wanted Internet sites to resort again to taking pictures of the tweets.
When the initial change was spotted, Twitter’s director of product, Eleanor Harding, said the company had made the adjustment “to better respect” the people who decided to delete their tweets.
