Data is getting deleted by Twitter
Another report by The Register claims that Twitter is deleting user’s lists without sending them any warning. These lists consist of multiple tweets, links, photos, and videos and are generally created by journalists, activists, and others to keep their data organized. The users are also provided with the option of keeping these lists private.
The past couple of days has witnessed many of such lists disappearing on the social media platform on a random basis.
An Australia-based journalist and founder of Cryptoparty, Asher Wolf latest tweet reads, “I have three locked lists that I scan for journalism, infosec and Middle East news. Those lists are gone.” There are many other users that claim that their private lists have been made public.
According to a report by Hindustan Times, Twitter has been working towards eradicating hate speech from its platform lately. In the process, the platform has had to eliminate a lot of content that appears as offensive to several communities. It is believed that the random eliminating of posts and lists might be a part of Twitter’s battle against hate speech.
Media publications also claim that this is nothing but an accident. The social Media Platform has been experiencing a year by year fall since long. Its arch-rival Facebook comes up with newer features, stealing most of the users Twitter has. Issues like these occur time and again, which end up disappointing its users.
