Twitter required a login long before the rename or Elon owned it. He actually removed that restriction for a while before reenabling it.
And with some simple div removal, IG doesnt require a login to view content. This is true about a lot of the paywalled sites.
- kennywinker 3y agoThat doesn't sound true to me... Idk specific policies, but my experience was that I was never logged in to twitter on my desktop and I was never login-walled out until recently under elon. edit: https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/30/tech/twitter-public-access-restricted/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/30/tech/twitter-public-access-re... > People without a Twitter account or who weren’t logged in used to be able to scroll the platform’s homepage and view public accounts and tweets. But as of this week, when such a user opens the platform they are met with a screen prompting them to sign up or sign in to Twitter.
- goykasi 3y agoIve never had a twitter account. And I was definitely not able to view most content during the pandemic. from 2021: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/pa6dra/twitter_starts_to_require_login_to_view_tweets/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/pa6dra/twitter... and from 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30615371 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30615371
