It had nothing to do with that. It still was a breach and they looked bad because of it. Therefore, they're not trustworthy.

That wasn’t a breach, the “hackers” successfully logged in with the right credentials. Get your facts straight.
Maybe but not necessarily. Right to erasure may or may not extend to message deletions like this case. Twitter has at least a leg to stand on in this one, so the precedent this case sets will be interesting.
Does not surprise me at all. Hard delete is a very rare thing and something that everyone shys away from as there is no way to undo it.
Now a soft delete which is changing a flag is a different story. The flag is change so it is not something that is returned in searches but in the omg moment it is very easy to undo.
I was scared when I would have to do a hard delete as it is easy to mess it up and delete everything. A bug in the code during a delete could cause more than you want to be delete as a former co worker of mine did by mistake. He had in code that if the right steps happen the basic delete c:\*.* ran and it did delete the entire hard drive until it hit a lock file. Complete bug happened threw a fringe case but it was in the wild and did some damage.

I’m sure their staff in the data warehouses can’t figure why those drives keep filling up.
You clearly don’t understand technology.
How is someone getting my password from someone other than Apple a breach by Apple?
If I leave my key under a rock and someone finds it, is it the fault of the lock maker?
Honestly not a really. Disk space is dirt cheap to the point that it is just not worth deleting stuff. It is cheap and one does not have to pay much for it
Yes they are, they are a spies dream, know everything about you and what you say and do.
