  In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the possibility of temporal nonlocality, mirroring the spatial nonlocality supposedly evidenced by the Bell correlations. In this context, Glick (2019) has argued that timelike entanglement and temporal nonlocality is demonstrated in delayed-choice entanglement swapping (DCES) experiments, like that of Ma et al. (2012), Megidish et al. (2013) and Hensen et al. (2015). I will argue that a careful analysis of these experiments shows that they in fact display nothing more than “ordinary” spacelike entanglement, and that any purported timelike entanglement is an artefact of selection bias. Regardless any other reason one may have for challenging the assumption of temporal locality, timelike entanglement as evidenced by these experiments is not among them. I conclude by discussing what lessons on the nature of entanglement might be drawn from an examination of DCES experiments.
