Reply to comment by hamsterpotpies in After a Decade of Tracking Politicians’ Deleted Tweets, Politwoops Is No More by psychothumbs

That doesn’t scale very well to the size of the platform; you’d need to remember every tweet forever, and check them all every day to see which ones were deleted

Nope. You get the differential of tweet IDs for every day and check every couple of days.

Honestly take away the political figures in this discussion and this is much better for data privacy and right to forget. There's similar things for Reddit and frankly I think for an average person these things violate privacy in a way because they remove your right for Reddit to forget your data. I'm sure people would argue over this but the idea that we should archive everything everywhere all the time for everyone is not a comforting one to me personally. And while public figures are different usually there's no distinction made for these types of capabilities.
