Schäuble Misrepresented

Twitter's front end 'engineers' never give up.


Get It

Try It

TWITTER IDIOT HOUSE (Rixstep) — Big world crisis the other night. Greece got sold a bill of goods by German minister Wolfgang Schäuble. Tag '#ThisIsACoup' reached 'top 10' worldwide.

Someone at WikiLeaks decided to help. And did a cursory search through their over 10,000,000 online documents.



Can you see what's wrong?

The Twitter 'engineers' can't. The WikiLeaks keyboard operator caught it almost immediately.



To make things work properly, they had to tweet the same thing again, replacing the 'ä' in Schäuble's name with a vanilla 'a'.

Twitter was founded in 2006. As of May 2015 they have more than 300 million active users. And nine years later they still have the same crappy front end engineers.
