You can’t trust corporate APIs. The only ones you can trust are open APIs that aren’t owned by anyone -- like the web, http, html, rss. You have to watch out because the bigco’s will try to own those too. To a large extent Google already owns the web. And they are throwing their weight around in much more consequential ways than twitter. But Google is invisble to the press. That will end someday.
@davew Google is not really invisible to the press. Manifest v3 is a good example.
@andychan -- they're invisible from this angle. it's the same way journalists missed all the features that cambridge analytica used when they were announced. they don't get the connection, i think.
