This barely solves anything. All public people get screenshoted and once this rolls out, I imagine someone will find a way to screenshot all tweets.

HN is a huge community and I imagine full of ex-employees of Twitter, what exactly does the organization believe the businesses core focus/value is? Like what is the framework they are growing towards?

I've never worked for Twitter, my guess is their business idea is "Well, Snapchat has it, Instagram/WhatsApp/Facebook have copied it, we should also offer it.".

I returned to browsing Twitter more after the election, and IMO it hasn't changed, it's just a place to get your dopamine hit when you see a tweet you agree with get traction, or for some adrenaline when you read something supremely idiotic. I thought about replying to 1 or 2 tweets, but geez, will anyone read it, will it change anyone's mind?

Would a screenshot of a deleted tweet hold up as evidence, either for an investigative journalist or in court? Given how easy it is to produce fake tweet screenshots, it seems it would be difficult-to-impossible to 100% verify authenticity, unless you had Twitter’s cooperation.

There's already independent recording of deleted tweets by politicians:

They could easily record fleets as well.
