Nitter receives Cease & Desist from X/Twitter

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

I think more devs making and hosting tools like this need to get into the type of layered defensive hosting infrastructure that pirate sites use. Hard to get a c&d if they can't track you down.

On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel. The service XCancel is stopped until further notice. We are seeking legal advice and won't share more details for now. Thank you for the trust you have put in these two years of XCancel.

xcancel is down

Presumably, this only covers the operation of an instance, not the project and development of the project itself?
