Post Ghost wants Twitter to be accountable for the discourse on Twitter

Post Ghost was a public archive of deleted tweets by influential verified users on Twitter. Twitter had sent a notice to Post Ghost, saying that the service provided by Post Ghost violated the Developer Agreement and Policy.[caption id="attachment_324521" align="alignnone" width="640"] Credit: Post Ghost[/caption]Post Ghost has posted an open letter to Twitter, in which it asks that Twitter be accountable for the public discourse that happens on its platform. Post Ghost says that its site does not track most of the users on Twitter, and saving a copy of deleted tweets was not a threat to the privacy of the users on the site. Only a portion of public figures, users with verified accounts were tracked by the service.Those with significant reach, and with tens of thousands of followers, should have their tweets tracked, because there has to be some public record to hold them accountable for their tweets. There have been cases where public figures with millions of followers have taken a stand on political issues, and then deleted the tweets.There is no way for the general public, those who do not use twitter or follow these figures, to know the impact of the experience of seeing these tweets in their notifications. Post Ghost also notes the instance of a politician who claimed screenshots of deleted tweets were manipulated.
