Everyone is talking about mobile clients, but what about social media companies and businesses that integrated Twitter into their CRMs? At the very least I know businesses that had Twitter directly into their Salesforce, SAP Cloud Integration, and even Teams via Power Automate.
- ceejayoz 4y agoThey're unaffected; the ban is specific to replicating the Twitter.com / first-party app experience. Exact wording: "a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications".
- CharlesW 4y ago> They're unaffected… This seems plausible, but has there been any official confirmation? If I'm Elon, my next act of ecosystem warfare is to monetize remaining API use cases to within an inch of their life.
- ceejayoz 4y agoMy work involves using those APIs; our keys are still active. We'd rapidly hear if entire apps like Salesforce had lost their access as part of this, too. The new wording in the terms forbids "use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications". If I had a Tweetdeck competitor I'd not be investing too much into it, and I think anyone working with the APIs now has to do a bit of "is it worth the risk?" calculus, but at the moment there's no sign this goes beyond third-party clients to consume/post timeline stuff.
- ihuman 4y agoBuffer and Hootsuite have both said that they are unaffected
- Kye 4y agoBuffer has Mastodon support in beta, so they're at least hedging their bets.
