> Tampering with the public record

Oh come off it already. What a remarkably brain dead opinion.

Twitter _is not a public utility_. It owes you _nothing_. Their property, their decision. That simple.

I do have an issue with the idea of their JS manipulating your own website but fuck off with this "Twitter is a public service" argument.

- They don't have to give you an account

- You are not entitled to make demands of them

- You can always use another service

Goddamned children. Enough already.

If Twitter is not a public service, it shouldn't be used for official communication by government representatives.

Public service means government run. A newspaper isn't a public service (in the US), but official notices can and do appear there. Even if no one reads the newspaper anymore. Same thing with private broadcasters like CNN, Fox News, etc. Public service has a specific definition.
