Or they can do both. Post a screenshot and link the tweet below it so users have the option to click to the source. I don’t explicitly block twitter but it’s so bad that more often than not the embedded tweet doesn’t display when viewing the page with uBO.

'doctoring' can go both ways. Embedding gives more 'doctoring power' to original poster and X.

So a screen shot linking to the original tweet, then?
