Except this is settled case law. LinkedIn tried and lost against scrapers.
That was a case of scraping explicitly public data that was already available to the general public without any extra effort.
Which is exactly what Twitter is?
no twitter requires a login
Which anyone can make
I think that this is different because Nitter uses real X accounts for scraping, rather than publicly available data.
That is still a form of publicly available.
Explain to me why that matters at all in an ethical sense. Especially given the scraping / pirating that's gone on by all of these companies in the last number of years.
When have ethics ever mattered in law?
Who cares this is a subthread about legal advice.
