I never trust any screenshot. Way too easy to fake.

Weird coincidence, that's just what NASA just tweeted:

Since they are an agency of the government, can one ask to get a tweet pulled out as a stamped and verified document?

The federal government has policies that govern retention of social media:

https://records-express.blogs.archives.gov/2017/01/27/record...

> Bulletin 2014-02 informs agencies that content created on social media platforms, including Twitter, is likely to be a Federal record and must be managed appropriately. For records posted on third-party social media platforms, agencies must determine how best to manage the records for the appropriate retention period and capture them where appropriate. Some social media records may be temporary, with a transitory, short, or long-term retention. However, some dispositions may be permanent, requiring the records to be preserved until their eventual transfer to the National Archives.

No idea what rights you'd have in the US, I'm not a citizen :-)

This screenshot of a NASA tweet is fake

You know that because it is a recent tweet.

Now imagine someone deletes all their old tweets programmatically. Several people have screenshots of an "old" tweet as they allegedly saw and "saved". Who do you believe?

I don’t see that it would make any difference whether they systematically delete there tweets or not. You could still claim it’s missing due to being specifically deleted.

You can’t prove someone didn’t tweet something, but you can prove they did tweet something - if the tweet hasn’t been deleted, which is the common case for people who don’t systematically delete their tweets.

Sure, I thought that was obvious.

In Chrome: right-click, inspect. Edit page source. Done. Less than two minutes, and you don't need to have a tech background to do it.

Never trust screenshots.

Maybe they just want you to think it's a weird coincidence.
