Tweet archiving site ordered to shut down

Twitter issued tweet archiving site PostGhost with a cease and desist order, which should come as a relief to celebrities and politicians the world over.

The site archived the tweets of accounts with large followings, so that even if they deleted a tweet it would be saved. PostGhost said, “We believe that for such prominent verified Twitter users, the public has a right to see their public Twitter history, whether or not they grow to regret the statements they’ve made.”

Twitter recently contacted those behind the site, threatening that it would shut down its API access as it is violating its Developer Agreement and Policy. PostGhost issued a response and said that it is shutting down the site.
