Twitter Tells 'PostGhost' Site to Take Down Archived Tweets

PostGhost was a nascent website that archived the tweets of the famous, rich, and important. Twitter emailed the group threatening to shut down their API access for the crime of displaying deleted Tweets. This crime, which could be traced to European data deletion laws and/or a desire to improve the general popularity of the evanescent Tweet, is banned by Twitter’s terms of service.
