Elon Musk disabled public access to twitter, login required to view tweets and new users can only read 300 tweets per day 🙈 Attempt to cover up riots in France? Real reason 🧵

Elon Musk hat gestern den öffentlichen Zugang zu Twitter gesperrt, d.h. man braucht jetzt einen Account und muss eingeloggt sein, um Tweets zu sehen und neue User können nur noch 300 Tweets pro Tag lesen 🙈 Versuch die islamistischen Tumulte in Frankreich zu verdecken? Der wahre Grund 🧵

Seit gestern kann man Tweets nicht mehr öffentlich (anonym) lesen und nicht mehr Freunden schicken, die keinen Twitter-Account haben.

Und heute hat Elon Musk angekündigt den Lesezugriff auch für eingeloggte User drastisch zu limitieren.

Die Einschränkungen seien temporär und manche glauben, sie haben etwas mit dem islamistischen Terror in Frankreich zu tun, damit sich die Plünderer nicht so leicht vernetzen können.

Ich denke die Maßnahme hat einen anderen Hintergrund. Vor Kurzem hat Twitter nämlich den freien (stark rate-limitierten) API-Zugang entfernt.

Konsequenz war, dass viele Entwickler nach anderen Möglichkeiten gesucht haben, trotzdem Tweets zu lesen und sind dann vermutlich auf die Web-Version (GraphQL API) als Workaround umgestiegen.

Auch ich habe in den vergangenen Tagen mühsam nach Workarounds gesucht und bin bei snscrape (Open-Source-Projekt) fündig geworden, das aber jetzt ebenfalls nicht mehr funktioniert. Habe in der Zwischenzeit einen weiteren Workaround entwickelt, der nur noch die Web-Version verwendet. Ich brauche die API, um die Antworten auf meine Splinterlands-Quiz-Tweets auswerten zu können.

Offiziell sollen die APIs entfernt worden sein, damit KI-Anbieter und Suchmaschinen die Tweets nicht mehr indexieren können. Dieser Schritt ist zwar irgendwie zugleich verständlich aber auch zweifelhaft. Warum soll man KIs nicht mit öffentlichen Tweets trainieren dürfen oder nicht in Suchmaschinen finden können? Warum muss das alles plötzlich so restriktiv gehandhabt werden?

Sind diese Einschränkungen positiv für Twitter (mehr User und Werbeeinnahmen) oder ist das das Ende der offenen Twitter-Plattform wie wir sie kennen (weniger Views, da Login notwendig ist)?

Was denkt ihr?

Twitter heavily restricts read access and requires users to log-in to read tweets (login wall)

Elon Musk blocked public access to Twitter yesterday, meaning you now need an account and must be logged in to see tweets and new users can only read 300 tweets per day 🙈 Trying to cover up the Islamist turmoil in France? The real reason 🧵

As of yesterday, you can no longer read tweets publicly (anonymously) or send them to friends who don't have a Twitter account.

And today Elon Musk announced to drastically limit the read access even for logged in users.

The restrictions are said to be temporary and some believe they have something to do with the recent Islamist terror in France so that looters can't network as easily.

I think the measure has a different background. Namely, Twitter recently removed free (heavily rate-limited) API access.

Consequence was that many developers were looking for other ways to still read tweets and then probably switched to the web version (GraphQL API) as a workaround.

I too have been painstakingly looking for workarounds over the past few days and found snscrape (open source project), but that is now also no longer working. Have in the meantime developed another workaround that only uses the web version. I need the API to be able to evaluate the answers to my Splinterlands quiz tweets.

Officially, the APIs are said to have been removed so that AI providers and search engines can no longer index the tweets. This move is somehow understandable but also dubious at the same time. Why should AIs not be allowed to train with public tweets or not be able to find them in search engines? Why does the access suddenly have to be so much restricted?

Are these restrictions positive for Twitter (more users and advertising revenue) or is this the end of the open Twitter platform as we know it (fewer views, since login is required)?

What do you think?

Kind of bizarre, but I don't spend much time of Twitter much anymore. I have more interesting things to do!

These are drastic changes from Twitter. Closing the platform from non users and the outside world in general goes against the tenets of a free platform in my opinion. I hope it's temporary.

Makes you wonder... It's very odd for Twitter to do that.

I don't think it should be done like this, the way our platform is now, everyone can do whatever they want on it, and it's becoming more and more strict to post on Twitter and here in the coming days. It won't be right.

The restrictions are still there right now but I think it's going to be the end of the platform if he doesn't revert things. All social media sites thrive from people staying on their site and pushing people away from your site is the worst decision.

Twitter is migrating from being free to a paid version, but I don't think it will go well. Time will tell.

That is also my impression, twitter used to be an open, free platform, all profiles and tweets were public, I often sent tweets to friends who even didn't have an account, but this generated views and traffic.

Erst mal vorweg:

müste ja heißen 300 Tweets sehen, denn ob man die wirklich liest ist was anderes.
Und Teilen kann man ja dennoch, gibt ja noch sowas wie Screenshots, was man nicht sperren kann, bzw. die Sperre kann man auch umgehen, wenn manchmal nciht einfach.

Ich denke du hast recht, es ist ein Versuch Workarounds zu verhindern. Kann ja verstehen, dass Twitter Geld verdienen muss, aber Sinnvoll wäre es gewesen, hier Leute zu ködern mit günstigen kleinen Paketen und teureren Profi Paketen.

Also sowas wie 100/ Abrufe Tag für 5$ Monat als Abo, oder 10.000 Anfragen für 20$

und dann eben für die, die 1000/Tag brauchen eben etwas teurer.

It's good to prevent cyber crime, if anyone login and do something so they can detect who was logged in and they know better than us, what is good for us and them, if we secured so they also secured.
