Nitter receives Cease & Desist from X/Twitter (nitter.net)

nitter.net is currently replaced with a message about the C&D until zedeus (lead dev) gets legal advice on how to proceed. ~~Xcancel.com is ok for now (or at least until an API break)~~. EDIT: xcancel.com was also C&D-ed and is now down

Bummer for those who still have to use Twitter.

For republishing... content that Elon doesn't own?

I don't see the problem.

There isn't one, but the lawyers will figure one out.

I thought Nitter had been broken for some time now?

the dev quit when accounts became obligatory, then they came back a few months later and it's been going since then

It worked last time I tried it, which was a couple weeks ago at most.

Both XITTER and XCancel are down.

I wonder what grounds, and if they can claim software interoperability?
