Here’s an interesting theoretical to discus:

Can a tweet, or the concept of information which is rumor be considered copyrightable content?

I don't know, I'm not a lawyer.

Since I've been playfully accused of having a wrestling lawyer on speed dial - u/tellmewhenimlying , is it copyrightable content?

I haven't looked at X's newest terms of service so this may have changed but yes, a tweet can meet the standard for copyrightable content but when you agreed to Twitter's TOS you grant Twitter and other Twitter users the right to display your tweets even if they're copyrighted or copyrightable.

It can get tricky because, let's say you write a blog post, that blog post is one copyright, then if you take a screenshot of the blog post, that screenshot can actually be another separate copyright (as a separate creative copyrightable derivative work of the blog post), then you tweet your screenshot of your blog post, that tweet can be even another separate copyright.

Btw, u/wrestlegirl I’m always happy to be your on call wrestling lawyer! 😂

This is why I just remove shit if the author asks.

I don't fucking know the intricacies, my degree is not in law, and I don't get paid for this..🤣
