There’s no reason to have anything older than 12 months on Twitter, just auto delete anything older.

Even 6 months should be good.

If you’re the type who uses Twitter as a blogging platform, grab that shit and self-host it.

There no reason Twitter would need to actually delete data from their backend.

You can also replace the content, depending on how their system is done.

Also we do have GDPR and CPPA if you want to go nuclear on your data

If you are the type that thinks any of the for profit tech companies are deleting your data I've got a bridge to sell you.

It’s not for the companies, it’s for the keyboard warriors looking for dirt when they get angry.

Case in point: James Gunn getting fired because of decade old tweets
