I noticed this morning that you now have to be logged in to view tweets. If this is a deliberate change then Elon is more intent on destroying Twitter than anyone could have ever guessed

Twitter has started blocking unregistered users from viewing tweets

A change to Twitter’s web platform now requires users to be signed in to a Twitter account before they can access any tweets, user profiles, and threads via a web browser.

@carnage4life Based on https://www.ft.com/content/5a792427-5ca0-48f8-a459-c704036d1d35 which mentions negotiating a deal with Google for access to Twitter data, my guess is Yaccarino needs to make sure Twitter content can't be scraped so she can try to make Google pay for it.

Well, there goes my daily Twitter glance. I would not dream of creating an account on this dumpster fire.

If people have been using Twitter as something visible to the general public, they should know that it's not anymore.

@carnage4life he keeps thinking the value is the platform it gives famous people and not the information network. He keeps hacking away at the value of the network. Past weekend kept reading commentary on how low value twitter had become for getting latest and best news

@carnage4life dumbass elron is just taking what ever reason he hears is causing his platform pain and since he fired all the people that would address it, he simply rage quits and breaks it more.

@carnage4life I noticed that this morning. My daughter sent me a tweet that was relevant to a conversation. I could read it in the preview in Messages, but couldn't on click through. Oh, well!
