Twitter Rolls Back a Controversial Update Amid Resentment from Users
One user observed that the change had been reversed by late Friday evening, and Twitter confirmed the move one day later. A spokesperson of the company said, Twitter product manager Eleanor Harding claimed the firm made the move to “better respect” those who want to delete their tweet. For many, the shift was troublesome because it just left a blank spot where the embed of a deleted tweet had previously been. Harding stated that Twitter would be releasing extra information to clarify why a tweet was no longer visible. Following its reversal, Twitter did not comment on the “alternative possibilities” it was considering. The choice to change how embeds work was perplexing to many. When Twitter originally offered embedding in 2011, it stated that it did so to keep the text of deleted tweets intact. And for several years afterward, company officials, including former CEO Jack Dorsey, stressed the significance of the platform as a kind of “public record.” Check out?
