Mermaids is under investigation by the charity commission. There is evidence they advised girls how to get breast binders, they redirected kids to an unmonitored discord server, and had a child abuse apologist as a trustee. The move to TikTok is unsurprising in context. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/regulator-announces-statutory-inquiry-into-mermaids https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/12/02/mermaids-transgender-charity-formal-investigation/ https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/where-did-it-all-go-wrong-for-trans-charity-mermaids/ https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/sep/30/transgender-charity-mermaids-investigated-breast-binders-given-to-children

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1709856306243293449
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
