| Screenshot captured 30 June ~1pm Pacific time. If what I pasted below is true then it's goodbye Twitter for me. I refuse to join and that goes for any other social media platforms as well. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/twitter-appears-to-be-blocking-unregistered-users-from-viewing-tweets/ar-AA1dgYt5 - MSN wrote:
- Twitter Appears To Be Blocking Unregistered Users From Viewing Tweets
Story by Alex Hevesy 1h ago
Among its long list of recent foibles and mishaps, Twitter has apparently started blocking internet users from seeing tweets if they are not already logged into a Twitter account. Previously, anyone could view a Twitter profile and its tweets without the need to be logged in, provided the account isn't set to private. Now, that appears to have changed. Attempting to view a tweet, as of midday on June 30, brings up a screen prompting you to either log in, or create an account.
If this is an intended change and not just one of Twitter's many recent outages and issues, then it could have a huge impact on how people use a significant portion of the internet. Not only will it be harder to read funny posts in tweet roundups, but also how internet users receive news and stay up to date on everything from Supreme Court rulings to the War in Ukraine. A large portion of vital breaking news is disseminated through Twitter.

- Twitter now forces you to sign in to view tweets
June 30, 2023
Starting today, Twitter is no longer accessible on web and mobile apps if you don’t have an account, forcing all users to log in if they want to get access to the platform.
If you're not already logged in, you will get redirected to a "Sign in to Twitter" screen, where you're prompted to either sign into your account or sign up for one.
If you dismiss this sign-in screen, you'll be sent to the social network's homepage, where you'll be once again asked to join Twitter by creating an account or by signing up with Google or Apple.
Twitter has yet to share a statement via its official support account or the company's blog regarding the motives behind this change. MORE at both links. !! FOXTROT JULIET BRAVO !! | |
