You have been subscribed to a public bug by Kees Cook (kees):
When using the gear menu to delete a post (at least with Twitter and
Identica), Gwibber confirms that the post has been deleted, but does not
actually delete the post in the service! This false positive is likely
to be *very* frustrating, as a user could post something inadvertently
and think they've deleted it when they really haven't.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Send an update to Twitter or Identica.
2. Observe the post in your Gwibber stream.
3. Use the gear menu's Delete function
4. Observe notification that the post has been deleted.
5. Reload updates, or visit your profile on one of the services.
6. Observe that the message is still there.
I'm calling this a security vulnerability because the user could
accidentally disclose information and Gwibber makes them think they've
resolved the disclosure when they really haven't.
