Politicians And Their Deleted Tweets

Websites flagging up MP’s deleted tweets have been banned by Twitter. But has the social network made the right decision?

Websites flagging up MP’s deleted tweets have been banned by Twitter. But has the social network made the right decision? We’re joined by the founder of Politwoops who believes the ban has made the platform – and politicians – less transparent. UKIP MP Douglas Carswell blocked Politwoops because he found it “annoying” but he thinks Twitter has overreacted. And we meet Thomas van Linge, a 19-year-old Dutchman who’s been mapping the Syrian conflict - from his bedroom.
