Then just eschew the Twitter API and scrape the website, then tell Twitter to go pound sand. Doesn't do anything about getting hit with a frivolous lawsuit but that's a different topic.
- zeckalpha 11y agoThat would violate the Twitter ToS, too: https://twitter.com/tos https://twitter.com/tos

- ConfuciusSay 11y agoIf their TOS prevents someone from taking a photograph of their website on a screen, it probably wouldn't hold up in court.
- zeckalpha 11y agoThen will Politwoops take Twitter to court for fair use of the API?
- ConfuciusSay 11y agoProbably not Politwoops, because they were using the API. But perhaps a successor that did not use the API, but scraped and screenshoted only might have a good chance.
