Photos posted on Twitter (now X) between 2011 to 2014 have vanished

It is worth noting that not all photos uploaded during the 2011-2014 period have been affected, with a post from former US President Barack Obama in 2012 still having a visible image. — AFP

It appears that most photos uploaded between 2011 and 2014 to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, are no longer visible to users.

X user @tomcoates first claimed on Saturday (Aug 19) that all images uploaded prior to 2014 had been “removed from the service”, instead replaced by a broken short-link that leads users back to the same post.
