In the Brazilian voting machine this is often done. You type the numbers and it loads the candidate info in the screen. Once you click [Confirm] the screen gets blank with the message of success. Therefore the only way to take a picture is before the vote is actually processed. You have a [Reset] button to re-enter the numbers.

I am surprised at how many cynical people think that asking for Trump to be removed from Twitter has anything to do with censorship or violation of first amendment rights.
Twitter is a private business and its content is controlled by the company itself. If Twitter comes to the point when they would delete Trump's account, that would be the equivalent of kicking him out of your house. It is your house, your rules.
Right wingers tend to conveniently bend the borderline between public and private whenever it benefits them.

I suggest the characters limit to grow/shrink dynamically based on the percentage of tweets that reach the limit.

The fact that many "battles" weren't as heated as today sounds like you are implying that they aren't as important or worth fighting.
At some point the "battle" for slavery abolition wasn't very heated either.
p.s.: I'm NOT, in any way, putting both causes at the same level but they both sound legit to me.

Yes, in Portuguese (my native language) it is the same.
For instance, "amigos" means "friends" with at least one male (the example of 50 women in a room and 1 man). "amigas" would be "friends" with only women/females.
There is in Brazilian Portuguese (probably in other pt speaking countries as well) a movement of people pushing for the usage of letter-tokens to turn gender-specific words into gender-neutral. In this case, they would use "amigxs" or "amig@s".

1. click bait.
2. I would like to see the absolute numbers for the 300% increase vs. windows decrease information.
3. "it is easy to find vulnerability in open source", that's a dishonest way to put it.
