Website that saves politicians’ deleted tweets faces deletion


CENSORSHIP?: Two weeks ago, Twitter ended the US website

THE HAGUE: The Politwoops website that saves tweets deleted by politicians said it fears its operations may be closed down in 30 countries after Twitter switched it off in the United States. 

“It’s probably a matter of time before they shut the other ones down,” said Arjan El Fassed, director of the Open Foundation which started Politwoops in the Netherlands in 2010 after it was dreamt up at a hackathon.
