Some people on Twitter can post 35k-char tweets

Probably a quickfix attempt to get the site working while waiting for engineering to deploy a proper fix. These tweets seem to trigger some crazy 100% cpu javascript edge case for dozens of seconds on every page load at least on desktop web.

Probably covered by:

> Spam & Security

> Access, tamper with, or use non-public areas of Twitter, Twitter’s computer systems, or the technical delivery systems of Twitter’s providers (except as expressly permitted by the Twitter Bug Bounty program).

> Interfere with or disrupt the access of any user, host or network, including, without limitation, sending a virus, overloading, flooding, spamming, mail-bombing Twitter’s services, or by scripting the creation of content in such a manner as to interfere with or create an undue burden on Twitter.
