Hi,

I am not 100% sure this is really a ‘bug’ but not sure where else to post it. I have noted that if you add a Tweet into a post:

[https://twitter.com/TheoGB/status/1060757664689414144](https://twitter.com/TheoGB/status/1060757664689414144)

once the preview has added it to the post you can delete it. I have already deleted my Tweet above but here it is in the preview and it will post in this thread.

I guess the point is that if someone posts a Tweet and they delete it then AFAIK it’s gone and you can’t get it back so should the site be caching it? Could it be made to reacquire Tweets every 24 hours or something to make sure it reflects the fact they’re gone?

Or maybe it does and I just have failed to activate something on the site (one is up on our site from 4 days ago for example).

Thanks
