The title of this post is a little incongruous with the linked content, which gives equal footing to data tidiness and privacy:

> TweetDelete is useful for people who want to reduce the amount of old data in their Twitter account (perhaps because of other apps they use on it) or people who want to limit the amount of data about themselves they expose online.

I think most of us will dismiss the privacy angle here, moderated as it is.

I’ve been using this service for a few years now. I catch some flak about it from folks (deleting my tweets breaks threads). However, I love that there’s an option that works to do this. I’ve been on Twitter for nearly a decade. A lot of who I am has changed, also meaning my tweets have as well. It’s good to have a fresh start, which is very hard to get on most social media networks.

Thanks, we've reverted the title to a representative phrase from the page.

the twitter community needs a service that deletes regrettable tweets, and anything that might one day cause a public relations nightmare

Unless someone screenshots your tweets. Either you have to create a private account and be really restrictive about who you add or what you say.
