That was his excuse, there are some alternative theories that say that he put the rate limits only to cut his AWS bills.
Anyway, it should be known that fighting against scrapers is a lost cause. Nitter is still going strong, BirdSiteLive (the software that powers bird.makeup) as well, and even if he really blocked these alternative methods, I wouldn't be surprised if the archive.org people came up with some browser extension that could help replicate the content elsewhere.
- tayo42 3y agoTwitter doesn't use aws for anything important... Lol people's just say anything online
- rglullis 3y agoReplace AWS with whatever cloud provider they use...
- tayo42 3y agothey dont use a cloud provider...
- rglullis 3y agohttps://www.platformer.news/p/twitter-stiffs-google https://www.platformer.news/p/twitter-stiffs-google While Twitter hosts some services on its own servers, the company has long contracted with Google and Amazon to complement its infrastructure. Prior to Musk buying Twitter last year, the company signed a multi-year contract with Google to host services related to fighting spam, removing child sexual abuse material, and protecting accounts, among other things.
- tayo42 3y agoI worked there, I think i know what I'm talking about
- rglullis 3y agoSo is the information of Twitter having a contract with Google a complete fabrication?
- tayo42 3y agoNo they have contracts with all of them because of acquisitions and attempts to be less reliant on just the data centers. Google cloud was another attempt to move some workloads or extend into it. But like I said earlier, nothing significant. Real work is done on the data center machines
