I have some insider knowledge here that I wanted to share.

This is not happening because Google scrapes Twitter and is now unable to. Google has been a paying customer (with a special negotiated rate) of the Firehose API for nearly a decade. Presumably, that deal was still in effect, barring API rate changes having an impact.

So this decision is solely because the results can no longer be viewed by non-logged-in users.

@rodhilton I mean it makes sense. The point of google search is to return information. If you cannot see that information without going through a login process that also limits how many posts you can see, it stops making sense.
