11. So unfortunately this isn't really a DU problem per se

It's to do with your individual device/browser setup and the way it interacts with Twitter's code.

Additional privacy settings, content blockers, or browser plugins/extensions can all cause conflicts which prevent your browser from displaying embedded tweets. Behind-the-scenes browser updates can make this happen without you even doing anything.

The problem then is figuring our what might apply to your particular situation.

Since you haven't made any recent changes to your device or browser, your best bet to start might be to try clearing your browser cache. There are instructions for Mac/Safari here, at the top of the page (there are iPhone instructions too for people having this issue on their phones):

Be aware that clearing browser data may cause you to be logged out from sites that you are already logged into, which means you'll have to log in again.
