The notice on the site reads:<p>Twitter Vid Has Been Shut Down (until we hear back from X) In the meantime, here are our other sites:<p>We received an email from X regarding another website we owned and although Twitter Vid does not scrape from X&#x27;s servers or API and used a 3rd party, we are shutting down for the time being to avoid any legal disputes. It is unclear whether Twitter Vid will return as we are awaiting a response from X.<p>We want to thank all our loyal users. This web app was created to provide a user-friendly interface compared to the alternatives that have been around much longer, but it seems like we were X&#x27;s target.<p>If you work for X, clarity on this would be much appreciated since we sourced data from a 3rd party (and that 3rd party has not been shut down). Contact me here: contact@twittervid.com<p>My comment:<p>Adversarial Interoperability and Scraping is a digital human right. These evil nazi-run Megacorps do it to us all the time, we should be able to use our content&#x2F;data on&#x2F;from the sites as we please.
