So you actually read it as "The library of congress quits archiving Twitter"? Hmm...

Yes. But I had heard of the news story about them starting to archive twitter. If I hadn't, maybe I would be more confused. Why would the library of congress quit twitter, I thought, and why would it even be a worthy enough event to warrant a news article? If they didn't find value in it, they would just stop posting. Why would a neutral government agency take something like a political stance against twitter? If I was wrong, yes, it definitely was news worthy. But occam's razor, and the law of clickbait, led me to the conclusion that most likely, it means that they've stopped archiving tweets, and not that they have deleted their account.
