Un po' tecnico.

With all the fuss about Twitter’s promised edit button, and how they might design it, we’re missing a disturbing development — Twitter is using its embedded javascript to edit other people's sites.

When a site embeds a tweet like this:

we are working on an edit button

— Twitter (@Twitter) April 1, 2022

the code looks like this:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">we are working on an edit button</p>
— Twitter (@Twitter) <a href="https://twitter.com/Twitter/status/1509951255388504066?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2022</a>
</blockquote> 
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That widgets.js script looks for blockquotes with the class="twitter-tweet" on, and replaces them with a Twitter branded iframe to confirm that it is a real tweet (and encourage you to click through to Twitter).

[...]

Until recently, if the tweet or account had been deleted, then Twitter would leave the blockquote alone, so the embedded text would still show, but without Twitter’s validation.

PS: Musk nel board mi ha convinto a lasciare Twitter, cosa che meditavo da diverso tempo.
