      Look, you can have a lot of arguments for why Twitter shouldn't have an edit button. But geez, the technological complexity of building an edit button should not be one of them.

      Journalists are honestly making arguments about the "loss of data" as a result of overwriting tweets. Which makes sense if: a. all of Twitter's databases are architected by a first-year CS student. b. we're running out of rows

      I understand it can be complex, but Twitter is a $20 Billion company. They can do hard things.

          They could just add an edit history, as FB has done, to preserve the record.

          Edit should be available until the first action on a tweet, be it a like, retweet, or comment. Then it becomes permanent.

          Lol...I worked at slack...edits certainly add complexity but I’m sure a thousand strong engineering team at least has a couple peeps who can figure it out

          They could figure out for sure. Slack have fairly limited number of user to update when a user edited a message. Edits also isolated on single workspace. On Twitter, everyone is in a single "workspace". So it's different problem. Not to mention those legacy code 😭

          I don't see why @twitter can't do an edit button that allows us to edit within 5 Sec or 10 sec of a tweet. Like @google allows you to recall an email within 30 sec. I ❤️ Twitter, but @jack , this angst of an edit button is ridiculous- #JustDoIt 🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

          Most of the engineering time is spent trying to socially engineer the country and influence thought so everyone thinks like they do. So not as much time for this.

          26 billion. should probably be higher honestly. will probably buy some more. Twitter is world history at this point, it’s not going away anytime soon.

          Spending time on a feature that has the potential to increase abuse isn’t worth it. If you think an edit button is good see the Elon Musk crypto scams, people fall for it everyday.

          Twitter also has a ton of smart people working for them. They will work out how to execute on the edit button.
