Twitter users are reporting that tweets they deleted have reappeared on their profiles. The issue appears to be widespread, and it's unclear what's causing it.
Some users say they deleted their tweets months ago, while others say they only deleted them recently. In some cases, only a few tweets have reappeared, while in other cases, all of a user's tweets have been restored.
Twitter has not yet commented on the issue.
The problem is concerning for users who deleted their tweets for privacy reasons. For example, someone who deleted tweets about their political views may now be exposed to those views if they reappear.
The issue is also concerning for users who use Twitter for professional reasons. For example, someone who deleted tweets about their work may now be seen as unprofessional if those tweets reappear.
Twitter users who are concerned about their deleted tweets reappearing can take steps to protect their privacy. For example, they can download their Twitter data and delete it from their computer. They can also set their tweets to be protected, which will prevent them from being seen by people who are not following them.
It is important to note that Twitter is not the only social media platform that has had issues with deleted content reappearing. In 2018, Facebook was criticized for allowing deleted posts to reappear in users' timelines.
The issue of deleted content reappearing is a reminder that social media platforms are not always reliable. Users should be careful about what they post on social media, and they should be aware that their content may not be deleted permanently.
