I would prefer it to be posted on a blog, but can't support ThreadReader. It seems like ThreadReader is violating copyright, unless they were licensed/authorize

  I guess you don't use archive sites then, either, right? Or search engines? Google creates an unlicensed derived work (their index) based on the sites they crawl. That seems like a silly justification. There's no way Twitter isn't aware of what ThreadReader is up to. If Twitter cared enough, all it would probably take is a cease and desist to stop ThreadReader for good.

    I avoid using archive sites when the original is still live (and unedited). With respect to Google and other search engines, I usually visit the website providing the snippet, and have issues with their derivations/plagarism. You may think I'm being silly, but I'm acting in accordance with my values, as I'm sure you do in situations where I'd disagree with you.

      > I avoid using archive sites when the original is still live (and unedited). Do copyright concerns disappear when the original has been taken down or edited by the copyright holder?

        We're getting way off-topic here; are you actually interested in my perspective, or just looking to start an argument?
