I can't read any Twitter links now. Not a huge loss, but interesting.

Use "unofficialbird" in place of "Twitter" in the URL to see the tweets without logging in.

Thanks Nitter.net didn't work for me for a "must be 18" post the other day. Will try this.

The adult content tweets may still get blocked without age verification at the Twitter end when unofficialbird tries to extract and display those restricted tweets.

I should read the comments before adding to them. ;-)

I dunno. But Facebook locked me out unless I upload a PHOTO ID.

When I see a twitter link I switch it to Nitter so I can view it, although that doesn't always work for 18+ posts. UnofficialBird is another option.

that could be a useful next bookmarklet, twitter to nitter equivalent etc. A few of my feeds are from twitter.

Nitter is down for the most part, at least, not loading any tweets

Seems like it. Even poal partakes in this kind of censorship.

Well it's hard to call yourself the virtual "village square" but make people show an ID to get in.

Poal is like an exclusive club.

It’s a form of censorship that the ds forces free speech places to do so the regulars still think they have free speech while it’s censored to all but themselves.

Maybe he's just trying reduce the number of niggers in the pool...

I use a extension for Firefox. It automatically redirects Twitter URLs to the Nitter instance of your choice.

Hasn't been working last day or so for me, tried several instances

I bet they’re getting overloaded because of this Twitter change. I was using unofficialbird.com, but that just went down in the last hour or so.

To answer your question: Yes. Twitter now requires login to view the site.

Thanks Elon

As of 4 days ago it was possible to view the frontpage of twitter without logging in.

Checked today and was redirected to login page.

One can use unofficialbird or some other proxy. Though, I doubt they will last for long.
