Nitter and XCancel are dead (again) after X’s latest legal actions

Nitter and XCancel, two services that allowed users to view X posts without an account, have ceased operations due to X's recent legal actions. This is not the first time the services have shut down in response to X's legal efforts. The services have been taken offline for a second time after X's latest move to crack down on unauthorized access to its platform. The exact nature of the legal actions is unclear, but the shutdowns suggest that X is aggressively pursuing those who help users bypass the need to create an account. This development is a blow to users seeking to maintain their online anonymity and access to X content without providing personal data.
