Reply to comment by thatfreshjive in Twitter Knows You Took A Screenshot - Asks You To Share Instead by Blockchain_Benny

Screenshot the tweet, then screenshot the edit history. The edit button isn’t the worst part it’s the delete button.

Political figure can tweet something, people get big mad and screenshot, political figure deletes tweet then claims any screenshots of said tweet are fabricated images, supporters believe political figure, screenshotters are labeled as spreading false information

Deleting a tweet is a decisive act, though. The capability to edit after the fact introduces ambiguity: ie. "How do I know that was the original tweet? You could have edited the screen shot."

Your logic applies more to deleting than editing: “How do you even know I posted that?” “You could’ve photoshopped that tweet to make it Look like I did”

True. I was more curious about where others thought this was headed, thought I'd gaslight a bit. That didn't work out too well 😅
