Brilliant idea honestly.

If someone wanted to use this for "opposition research" purposes, they could run this against any "up and coming" public figures...

* Regional politicians

* TV show contestants

* High school / college athletes

* White collar workers receiving major promotions

* etc.

Take screenshots / records of the tweet, then figure out what to do next. Could range from storing for a rainy day or building a SaaS that reaches out to those folks and helps them find/delete the old content.
