Twitter bug randomly restores deleted tweets
Twitter bug restored approximately 34,000 deleted tweets, questioning the site's user privacy and protection
Twitter users have been reporting the reappearance of some of their deleted tweets on the platform. A security expert told ZDnet that approximately, 34,000 deleted tweets were restored randomly.
While the bug seems to be affecting everyone, it seems most likely to affect those using third-party services like Redact or TweetDelete.
A former Twitter Site Reliability Engineer says, that it “sounds a lot like they moved a bunch of servers between data centers and didn’t properly adjust the topology before reinserting them into the network.”
The site has been plagued with a number of technical issues in the past few months. This has undoubtedly led to a decline in users and a golden opportunity for competitors to swoop in and get more users to their platforms.
