And how do you delete something that appears in the Internet Archive? Are you just hoping that people are lazy and do a cursory check?


it won't delete everything but it will make it harder to find, and it isn't clear that every tweet is available through the Internet Archive.

> I’ve used the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine in my reporting to access long-deleted tweets from Roseanne Barr’s account and to examine the history of suspicious, viral accounts. However, the Wayback Machine’s archives are somewhat random and incomplete, showing only the last few tweets from each moment it crawled the account’s page.
