Feature Request: Link previews for Twitter.

Currently Signal allows Link previews for several sites, including instagram, reddit, and pinterest. Twitter would be a good addition!

That would be so awesome :) Even better if we can get videos playing straight within Signal like it does on iMessage.

@kenpowers-signal From what I can tell, http requests to Twitter through the Signal proxy (contentproxy.signal.org:443) are rejected and result in a 403 error; even using curl to try and hit the Twitter API results in a 403.

Do you know why this is and what could be done about it?

Is the proxied used for anonymity? Otherwise, why not do it directly from the clients? - answer is yes, this is discussed further at https://community.signalusers.org/t/twitter-message-preview/12040
