Private Quote Retweet

[ SLANG ][ SOCIAL MEDIA ][ TWITTER ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Twitter / XCLUSTER: platform_feature_slang

A quote retweet posted from a protected (private) account, so the person being quoted cannot see what was said or who said it. It is generally seen as a negative or sneaky form of commentary because the target cannot respond.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
