On: Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices

You need to make an account to access it. That's not free

[fearmerchant → culi]

I have an account and I paid zero for it. Are we talking about the same thing?

[BLKNSLVR → fearmerchant]

You've paid with a certain amount of personal information.

But to be fair, that's the same with a newspaper subscription.

[ShinyLeftPad → BLKNSLVR]

You can't buy a newspaper at a kiosk for cash?

[BLKNSLVR → ShinyLeftPad]

Good point. I think you can probably also read it for free at a library, or at work (on their paid sub however). Lots of options, true.

[fearmerchant → BLKNSLVR]

You're assuming I used my own information. It's the internet. You can lie.

Worse, you can be banned for reasons unrelated to your local laws and lose access.
