However, there will be drawbacks: they will only have 30 minutes to do it and the rest will be able to see the previous versions.

“Time limit and version history play a big role here,” spokespeople have said. in TheGuardian-. They help protect the integrity of the conversation and create a publicly accessible record of what was said.
Currently, it is being tested internally and at the end of September it will reach subscribers of Twitter’s Blue service in one country. It is not known which place the platform will choose, but Twitter Blue is in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
“We hope that, with the availability of the edition, tweets feel more accessible and less stressful -they point from the app-. You should be able to join the conversation in a way that makes sense to you, and we’ll continue to work on ways that make it feel easy to do just that.”
