Earlier today I submitted a URL from twitter.com because it was the URL for the content that I wanted to share. That URL was rewritten in the form:<p>https://twitter.com/i/flow/login?redirect_after_login....<p>This causes fellow users to have to login to X / Twitter to have to view the content/tweet.<p>Why is this happening?
Does the tweet have a canonical tag in the HTML? Asking because HN will redirect to the canonical name. That's why I use an addon to show me if that exists to save me some hassle when I submit URL's here. HN seems to ignore canonical for some domains like Youtube video URL's. Perhaps that exclusion list needs an update but probably best to email dang to ask.
