Bizarre definition of a "protocol" as it stands today Did twitter have some sort of open API back then or what was he talking about?

  Before computer science, it was defined as a way of speaking or acting between people in certain situations: >the official procedure or system of rules governing affairs of state or diplomatic occasions. "protocol forbids the prince from making any public statement in his defense" >the accepted or established code of procedure or behavior in any group, organization, or situation. "what is the protocol at a conference if one's neighbor dozes off during the speeches?"

    Given that he’s talking about TCP I don’t think he meant diplomatic protocols here
