I have no proof of course, but the timing does give rise to valid reason for concern.
I don't give a fig about some company blog, but regardless, in an era where the internet is starting to forget, any situation like this causes hearts to sink.
It's entirely possible internet archive never indexed the blog from 2019-2023...so there was no data to lose.
But I find that hard to believe. Seems random. They scanned before and after but not during this time for some reason?
I really really hope the hack wasn't reason for the data to be missing, because that can give reason to fear that other obscure data might be missing too.
Oh I don't mean timing in a political or elon-purchase sense.
I meant if the data is missing because of the hack.

Again, observe the missing data only concerns https://blog.twitter.com not https://twitter.com
How would that affect the ongoing legal demands against X and Musk?

Elon Musk:
It's the twitter (the company)'s blog, not twitter posts by users, so nothing spicy per se, but still concerning that it's missing after the hack.
The blog is now at blog.x.com now, so decided to link both, so you can see if there is any difference.

What makes you think there's any connection?

Was it there before the hack?
good point!

Things more important to us than a company blog.

What timing? The stretch of missing data ends in late 2023.

It’ll be fascinating if we can diff.
