Twitter Implements Login Requirement, Restricting Access to Tweets

Twitter is no longer allowing users who are not logged in to see any tweets, potentially impacting its utility and user experience. It is unclear whether this change was intentional or a technical error, but it follows a series of missteps by the platform. This move could hinder services that rely on scraping data from public-facing platforms like Twitter and may affect Google's ability to include tweets in search results. Additionally, researchers have found that US adults are spending less time on Twitter since Elon Musk took over, and this decision to limit tweet visibility to signed-in users may further deter potential new users and hinder advertising revenue.
