The tyranny and oppression bit is satire. And disallowing the creation of third party clients is only a minor piece of a much larger puzzle. When good services like IFTTT are forced to stop using the API, there's obviously something wrong.
- elliottcarlson 14y agoTwitter removed access for Instagram, Linkedin and Tumblr - IFTTT chose to remove features based on the new policy changes.
- gjulianm 14y agoTC reports that IFTTT was actually infringing terms before the API changes: http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/20/ifttt-has-actually-been-in-violation-of-twitters-api-for-months-todays-move-unrelated-to-1-1/ http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/20/ifttt-has-actually-been-in-.... I suppose that they've just noticed it and decided to take it down. And yes, of course there's something wrong. It's not fair to grow helped by third party apps and them trash them, but, as I said, we all knew that this could happen. We can't trust that any company won't be evil during all of its lifetime, specially when that company needs to show real money to investors.
