Cease and desist
On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters have been sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.
nitter.net is offline and development has stopped for the time being. I'm seeking legal advice and won't be commenting further on the specifics for now.
Thank you to everyone who used, hosted, packaged, donated and contributed to Nitter over the past seven years.

This has to be a slap suit right? Surely there's no merit to this?

Merit does not matter in the land of Corporate.

Is he US-based?
Because, if not, does he really need to comply?
(Note: assuming 'he', because I've only ever met one bloke with the handle Zedeus and he was a he... sorry for being obtuse)

To me, I could care less. Twitter is nothing but a shell of its former self full of hate and derision now. Who needs it or any spawns.

So, what's the process from now on? Do we need a community of people who have Twitter accounts and repost tweets (or better, the link sources in the case of news etc) to the Fediverse?
