Musk's changes kill service that let you view tweets without going to Twitter.

    Weird, I’ve survived without it for 8 years.

      Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.

      I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.

        Ours does the exact same. Sometimes they even put an obfuscated link to a tweet that was very quickly deleted, so you just get an error and there’s no info unless you both log in and go searching their twitter for whatever tweet they may actually still have that has info. It’s pretty ridiculous.

          Sounds like a misuse of the amber alert system
