Twitter Vid Has Been Shut Down (until we hear back from X)
In the meantime, here are our other sites:
We received an email from X regarding another website we owned and although Twitter Vid does not scrape from X's servers or API and used a 3rd party, we are shutting down for the time being to avoid any legal disputes. It is unclear whether Twitter Vid will return as we are awaiting a response from X.
We want to thank all our loyal users. This web app was created to provide a user-friendly interface compared to the alternatives that have been around much longer, but it seems like we were X's target.
If you work for X, clarity on this would be much appreciated since we sourced data from a 3rd party (and that 3rd party has not been shut down). Contact me here: contact@twittervid.com
My comment:
Adversarial Interoperability and Scraping is a digital human right. These evil nazi-run Megacorps do it to us all the time, we should be able to use our content/data on/from the sites as we please.
The notice on the site reads:
