Adding video support to Notes is a game changer - thank you, and congrats. The ability to embed individual notes on external webpages could be one as well, but here's a question for you Hamish, Chris B., and whoever else:

Adding video support to Notes is a game changer - thank you, and congrats. The ability to embed individual notes on external webpages could be one as well, but here's a question for you Hamish, Chris B., and whoever else:
On Twitter/X, when they suspend/ban someone for an alleged TOS violation, they will often also WIPE OUT THEIR ENTIRE POST HISTORY.
This creates a huge problem as far as publishers' ability to safely embed posts from that platform into news stories, since you have no way to know if the poster(s) will get suspended a week, month, or year later, thus screwing up your story/possibly killing a key piece of it.
As a result, we often end up taking a screenshot of the tweet in question and embed that instead of the tweet itself, and just link to the original. It's more work than just embedding the tweet and a worse user experience, but it's more future-proof.
On top of that, when an account is completely nuked like this -- thousands of posts that someone made over the course of years in some cases -- the exponentially higher number of INTERACTIONS with it (replies and quote tweets) are also rendered fairly useless, since you can't see what those people were responding to. There's a huge ripple effect.
Will you agree to NOT do this? In other words, if you ban someone for a TOS violation, will you LEAVE ALL OF THEIR NON-OFFENDING POSTS ALONE? (Assuming it wasn't just a full on spam account or something)
