Deleted accounts for example:

I'd have to assume deleted Tweets might face a similar fate, these companies don't have infinite resources.



NSA captures them forever.

You are underestimating all media tracking/ retaining all Tweets and other social media contributions and performances made by media celebrities, paid commentators and politicians. You don’t think Fox News can pull from its own archives every tweet made by CNN, on a moments notice and vice- versa?

None of anyone's business actually. Explain why you have deleted stuff from social media or posts from here.

You can't delete posts from here once they've been here for any amount of time. Just like you can't delete tweets.

Again, the comment I was replying to was about them being on Twitters servers,and my point was that they likely dont save every. single. tweet. Especially user deleted ones. There are 3rd party services that exist to do what you describe for media agencies or anyone else who wants to pay for those services, but that was not what was being discussed.

As well as all of his on air outrage about the Cohen search warrants and championing for Cohen without disclosing his personal relationship, regardless of how limited it may or may not have been.

Obviously, neither Hannity or Trump were aware that Cohen, like most attorneys, kept detailed records of client interactions. That Cohen legally taped phone conversations with Trump and those tapes were discovered as a part of the search warrant was further evidence.

Makes one wonder how many of the Trump Org 500+ orporations were established for nothing more than to bury financial pay- offs for a variety of purposes.

You can't delete Tweets? Then WTF is this thread about?

Symantics. You can't remove them from existence, although you can remove them from your twitter feed.

I am not missing anything. You are acting as if a tweet is some raw ascii text that is being captured in note pad, and its far more complex than that. Tweets have tags, urls, hyper linked @ mentions, emojis, videos, gifs, hyperlinked hash tags, meta data, and who knows what other code behind those 140-280 characters that you see on the screen. Your calculation is basically like assuming that you can make chocolate chip cookies with one ingredient, and that ingredient is chocolate chip cookies.


Somehow your "calculations and estimates" told you that you can store every tweet ever using off the shelf consumer grade storage, meanwhile Twitter had to outsource to Google to store 300 PBs of data, if you dont' see how your calculation is WAY off I don't know what else to tell you.

I wouldn't be so sure, I've already posted a link where Twitter confirms that if you delete your account, the tweets are eventually deleted from their servers. While I havn't been able to find anything about individual tweets, I'd have to assume it might follow a similar process. Again this doesn't account for other services or people saving them though.
