I don't think anyone cares about what candaians who think they are Americans believe simply because they live nearby.
As subjects of the King, canadians have no understanding of liberty, nor the founding principles of the American nation. They fled as soon as people suggested defiance. Subjugation is in the veins of canadians.

Have you tried crying about the fact that you are getting traffic to your website that nobody would see otherwise?
I hope daddy government treats you well.
Count on Big Brother to save you, and they will beat you down when it's time as well.

As you can see from Mussolini's own writing on the Doctrine of Fascism, they hate individualism, and love the State.

Prior to Twitter's acquisition by Musk, they worked quite closely with the State and even hired the former top FBI lawyer as their chief legal counsel.

It's a big holiday weekend in America, and having an outage seems like a minimal inconvenience, especially for those of us without an account.
There are entire communities of people who relied on the ability to simply read Twitter without an account, took the time to write code of their own, and now are reacting with much more maturity than HN seems to be. The petty personal attacks are simply astonishing.

Thanks for weighing in with some actual first-hand knowledge. It is appreciated.
The latest on cloud hosting is from a week ago, and I'm guessing you don't have any more recent info than this:

His claim is that there are a few hundred scrapers causing issues, which makes sense given the recent changes to the paid API.
An assumptions of good faith was once a well-held principle on this website, and it's too bad legacy media has led so many astray.
Hatred for Musk has truly captured many otherwise very logical minds.

I think you might benefit from reading HN comments about Twitter from ~2010. You will find many you agree with, yet Musk had zero to do with the service.

Twitter could've simply announced they were going into maintenance mode for the weekend, and most people would've taken the hint about reduced availability.
Many of us privacy freaks were content accessing via Nitter, and had no use for directly connecting our personal machines to the site, nor registering. I am curious if we were considered bots.
Time will tell, but I doubt anyone has the actual explanation for what is going on exactly.

That's why none of the explanations given can possibly be thorough, and I'm finding very few plausible explanations on HN either.
Most seem to be happy to blame whoever they view as their opposing team, which rarely leads to wisdom.
