X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014::Ellen’s famous ‘most retweeted’ selfie from the 2014 Oscars has had its image restored, but most old tweets have broken short links instead of the media or links that should be there.

Tweets were 140 characters including urls to photos. It means the photo or url linked no longer works because users would shorten links instead of the full image url.
