New: An apparent glitch made it appear to some users that Tom Hanks had deleted years' worth of tweets when he in fact hadn't.
This caused conspiracy theorists to claim that Hanks was attempting to hide his ties to a Satanic child-eating pedophile cult.

I was able to confirm that some users were seeing his last tweet as being from 2017, while others could see his actual latest tweet from May of this year.
Conspiracy theorists also alleged that the picture of a shoe on Hanks' account was evidence of child trafficking.

I reached out to Twitter multiple times to ask why some users were not seeing 3 years' worth of his tweets while others were.
Twitter is looking into the matter but has yet to reply. It's unclear if this issue was present with any other accounts as well.

Twitter has confirmed to me that the issue was in fact a glitch.
Current tweets weren't showing up for some users and could only be seen under the 'Tweets and Replies' tab.
The issue appears to have affected multiple accounts and has since been fixed.
