Does anyone have some advice on how to proceed with this partial answer to a request? The government agency is refusing to produce a full copy of a deleted controversial tweet from last Sunday and suggesting that I must ask Twitter for it.

Ryan Carboni

It’s possible they don’t keep copies of tweets they send out. Seems incompetent, but conceivable.

Shawn Musgrave

Their response is incorrect.

Point the agency to Twitter’s page on exporting tweets – these are documents created by the agency, and as such are subject to disclosure.
