Let me know why anybody should implement a mitigation for something that is having little to no impact on data, users nor the company.

So you're saying it's okay to let users *permanently* make posts *against* the rules, thus polluting the DB with inconsistent data?

Seriously, I hope I never have to fix a system you designed or audited :p

You could have fitted that in a 280 character tweet, yet you didn't. Why?

But hey let's now analyze what you are saying...

Which rule? Where on the agreements you accepted as a user of twitter did you agree that your publications will be 140 chars long?

Dude, you still don't get it. The new length rule is 240 chars and CJK count double. The latter check is JS only.

That means a priori they have a bug that people in the staged test can abuse to post noncompliant tweets.
