Hey faggot. I worked at twitter engineering. Tweets are not stored for 30 days. They are stored forever. Even if you delete them. Deleting them just sets a flag "dont show this tweet, is deleted" in the manhattan database. But the tweet remains in the database forever.
All social media do this, in case you do some retarded shit and the feds needs your tweet history.
What ever you say. 30 days is the standard and required by law. All social media companies comply with that. Doesn't matter what some mental reject has to say about it.
If they actually do this they are in violation of the GDPR.
Considering how many insiders with an axe to grind have been fired and no GDPR suits are active because of this I'm calling bullshit.
Agreed, there's a reason why Europe keeps going after social media companies for not complying with their bullshit laws.

As we all know, it's impossible for a social media company to differentiate between the countries its users hail from
They still have to follow EU laws as they do operate in the countries there. There are multiple articles out there talking about whether or not Twitter complies to it for various things. Most recent is a Techcrunch article. GDPR will even fine a site if user information is found on another site due to a hack such as with Facebook. Facebook and Google are usually the ones hit the most though.
2011 saw a potential lawsuit against Facebook for holding information that people thought they deleted.
Fines on social media for not deleting stuff, like Russia fining TikTok for not deleting LGB content and Germany fining Facebook for not deleting anything they consider "abusive".
Should also be noted that Twitter and Elon Musk is already on GDPR's radar after all of the people fired and the potential of them sharing private information. Plus the new Blue Tick program. Though some reports claim Dublin already were already about to investigate the company before Musk took over.
Whatever a social media does or does not do will be fined by non American countries because other countries want the money they make. It's why they try their best to follow a countries laws to a reasonable degree. Not that it matters, countries like the Uk and the EU will just change their privacy laws to fuck over American companies, why? Because they know American companies will pay the fine to continue doing business there.
By the way, they already fined Twitter before. This one was for not disclosing a data breach sooner (there's a 72 hour period of time to do so)
Twitter has been told to pay a €450,000 GDPR fine by Ireland’s data regulator for failing to report a 2018 data breach in the legally required timeframe.
