Comment on Case before Norway's Supreme Court claims that depriving sex offender of a Snapchat account is unlawful under the European Convention on Human Rights in ~tech

I think it should be easy to argue that snapchat isn't that important, but where should we draw the line? The police is still using Twitter to give out official information, can the courts ban you from Twitter without infringing on your rights? What about the whole internet? Without it you would be cut of from pretty much all discussion, isn't that infringing on your right of speech?
Having the higher courts draw up some clear lines makes a lot of sense.

I get multiple followers daily, from spam accounts. It's gotten ridiculous. So hopefully he does this, so that I can finally kick my Twitter habbit fully.

Is it then a good thing to go back to it, showing him that he can just continue?
We also know that he loves to use famous athletes and scientist for propaganda. If you give a nobel prize to a russian, and the next day he is talking to the troops about how Russia will win because they have the smartest people, can you really say that the science is pure and trancend politics?
There are good reasons you would want not only edits, but also edit time and history. If I post a death threat and then edit the post the police would still like to know who made it (and at what time from where). But if the threat comes in an edit, you still need the information, just from the editee. Same if you need to prove how long information was visible before you took action or any number of other reasons
And realitically reddits cost is serving the page, far more than storing the comments. And the value is all about the data they have on their users. So to me it seems short sighted to not store an edit history, as well as deleted commnets. It's not data you normalt serve so it's easy to just store for 24 hours and then push to some cheap bucket and it could potentially be valuable.
