One of the features most desired by Twitter users is about to be implemented: the edit post button was finally confirmed by the platform earlier this month. The feature that allows users to change previously published tweets, has been under development since last year, and will be available, at first, to users of Twitter Blue – the subscription version of the microblog – for the test phase.

Serious doubts exist around how to manage this edited information without jeopardizing the credibility of content creators and companies that work with Twitter.
