The quote is wrongly attributed. The author of the phrase is Louis Brandeis, American lawyer and judge of the Supreme Court. The words „Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants” come from his article from 1913 and refer to a statement in James Bryce 1888 book. https://alasdairroberts.ca/2015/03/01/where-brandeis-got-sunlight-is-the-best-disinfectant/ https://sunlightfoundation.com/2009/05/26/brandeis-and-the-history-of-transparency/ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sunlight_is_the_best_disinfectant https://louisville.edu/law/library/special-collections/the-louis-d.-brandeis-collection/other-peoples-money-chapter-v https://www.cardin.senate.gov/letters/sunlight-is-the-best-disinfectant/

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/1855172475685945785

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.
