"Glitch"
Time to cut some storage costs!
This is exactly it. It also wouldn’t surprise me if certain accounts had images from then that might get request by law enforcement that are now “oops all gone!”
Someone noticed it knocked out most of the Arab Spring. Remember who also owns part of Twitter?
They can't be that much of a burden surely?
That, or he wasn't even paying the bill and everything finally got wiped.
More like can't cancel me for something I said in 2012 if there's no record of it.
