Super clever and fun to browse but this goes against Twitter's terms. Have they reached out to you, @breyten?

@breyten oooh! I completely missed this. Thanks for the correction.

Hi! Thanks for hunting this! I originally built this thing back in 2010 and still run all the non-US versions of Politwoops (The US version is run by the Sunlight Foundation, BTW)

@christiancooper We're talking to them. They're doing everything they can to get it back online as soon as possible

@christiancooper thank you for hunting this! Politicians, just like any other people, need to realize that nothing you put onto the internet can/will ever just "go away" even after it's "deleted".

@katesegrin Thanks, Kate. I'm excited about the prospect. Here is the twitter blog announcing their return and I think @ColinCrowell worked to make this happen. Just in time for election season in the US. https://blog.twitter.com/2015/ho...
