Twitter To Reactivate Politwoops? Dorsey Apologizes Over Service Ban To Track Politicians’ Deleted Tweets

Will Jack Dorsey and Twitter reverse its decision in banning Politwoops? That appears to be so following the Twitter CEO’s apology to developers, most particularly the people behind the service that tracks the deleted tweets of politicians at the Flight conference held in San Francisco, Variety reported. 

“Somewhere along the line, our relationship with developers got a little bit complicated, a little bit confusing, a little bit unpredictable. We want to come to you today, and first and foremost apologize for the confusion,” Dorsey told the audience. 

He then added that Twitter is committed to reboot the service. 

TechCrunch said Politwoops got banned in the US over allegations that it violated Twitter’s developer agreement. The move subsequently got backlash from human rights and transparency groups, and insisted that the deleted tweets are still public record. 

However, Dorsey did not clarify whether there is an intention to reverse the decision to ban Politwoops, the Huffington Post said.
