twitter no longer lets you view tweets without an account :trole:​

all archival tools don't work anymore. unauthenticated downloaders/clients/tools/etc also no longer work.

this was probably done to stop unpaid data scraping, but ended up hurting literally everyone else.

@w
That's actually pretty crazy. Especially when considering how world leaders and public figures still seem to use that platform for important announcements which now can't even be properly archived.

if you pretend to be googlebot, you can still load the page, but it's the lite one you used to see on wayback machine

At least nitter still seems to work... Only the search seems to be affected.

@w It's just one more self-defeating move made by his highness Melon Usk.

@w take a deep breath and just... Let go. You don't need Twitter, nobody needs it, please, just let go of it

@w Nitter still works for me, maybe it's your IP?

@w Twitter and reddit just love hurting public online knowledge. Honestly, the reddit blackout hurt web search quite a lot. Luckily, Twitter doesn't help web search all as much as reddit did.
