XCancel Suspended Amid Ongoing Legal Proceedings
XCancel suspended "due to a new development in the ongoing legal proceedings"
XCancel, a Nitter-based frontend for X (formerly Twitter), has been suspended due to a new development in ongoing legal proceedings. The suspension highlights the growing difficulty of accessing X content without logging in, as the platform has become increasingly locked down for unauthenticated users. Commenters on Hacker News lament the loss of free, non-ad, non-login access to public information posted by politicians and government entities, and wonder if other instances can survive X's legal pressure.
You have politicians, government entities and other public institutions posting to twitter, but to access we need to log in. There needs to be a free, non-ad, non-login environment people can use to access this information posted by public entities.
