> One thing I haven't seen written about much is how these APIs turned into massive liabilities for privacy. If a Twitter API allows me to siphon tweets off of Twitter, you can never delete them.
Is that really a privacy concern? Tweets are public. As soon as you post them, others can just save the page. No need for an API.
Data brokers don't care about easy APIs anyway. They'll save that tweet even if it takes a dozen engineers, a global bot net, and millions in cloud spend to do it at scale
