I prefer the other way around. Twitter is probably acting bad. If they update it immediately, apologize, then we can assume its not an issue. What value do you get by giving them the benefit of doubt? You just give them a way to gently manipulate you if you assume every little thing that's bad is an accident.

The alternative to "Twitter is acting bad" doesn't have to be "Twitter is completely innocent", it can be "Huh that sucks, wonder what caused that". You don't have to make an immediate judgement call on the morality of every tiny bug.
The value I get from that is not spending energy judging everything immediately as soon as I see it, which, in a world with social media, is a significant savings.

I would prefer to draw attention to their bad behaviour. I'll expend my energy. You can enjoy the benefits.
