X (formerly Twitter) just C&D'd Nitter / XCancel: just a lil privacy frontend for reading(!) tweets: no JS, no ads, no account, your browser never spoke to Twitter. That meant no IP tracking and no JS fingerprint. Not even posting #FreeSpeech™ - just fckg seeing someone's speech without being logged. That's the thing they shut down. Killing that is a new low. Surveillance always needs fresh blood. VPN/Tor users (like me) are probably next. image Links: HN discussion:

Just another fascist hiding behind pseudo-freedom. They even removed their .onion a while ago… If he was real, he would decentralize and not manipulate the algorithm.
