Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. Thats - so far - almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service. https://twitter.com/tomcoates/status/1692922211416334597
@lenaoflune @estherschindler Hopefully, the Library of Congress has archived all of this beforehand.
@jaunty @estherschindler Goodness I hope so, or at least the Internet Archive has.
Hallelujah
@estherschindler With no warning... gee no sense giving folks a chance to save their own history.. :( That means all my Twitterviews and Twitterplays media is gone.. What a goat fucker Musk is..
@estherschindler Just toss all that down the Memory Hole, apparently.
I'm sure this is a cost-saving measure, but it simultaneously feels like an attempt to wipe out the wicked pasts of a wide range of accounts while simultaneously destroying history and obliterating things people actually cared about.
So, y'know. On brand for #Twitter and Very Stable Genius #ElonMusk .
