A bug preventing Twitter Fleets from disappearing

A bug in Twitter's new disappearing post feature is allowing some users to access "deleted" content after 24 hours, according to a Techcrunch report.

Through a series of tweets, it was revealed that using Twitter's back-end systems via its developer API, someone can effectively access and download a user's fleets without triggering a notification. Each fleet had its direct URL, which when opened would load the fleet as an image or a video. It was discovered that the server would still return links to fleets, even after 24 hours. 

Twitter is aware of the situation and is working on a fix that should be rolled out shortly, reports Techcrunch.

It should be noted that the fix will make sure that the fleets disappear properly, not delete the content. Twitter keeps all fleets on their servers for up to 30 days, even longer if they violate any rules.
