XCancel gets taken down as X Corp sends cease-and-desist letter to Nitter

2 months ago by VetOfTheSeas to c/privacy

X Crop has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Nitter, the open-source project behind XCancel. The project has now suspended the service while it looks into its legal options.

X Corp has absolutely zero authority to force anything. Only courts can and as we've seen in USA they're pretty meaningless too.

The longer you obey the more power you give them. Power they haven't earned.

Ignore X Corp lawyers. They're all overpaid losers who could never cut it. Most of them can't read above a sixth grade level. Sue me if I'm wrong.

Every time I bang an X Corp lawyer's wife she gives me a cookie.

Why do you think Ozempic prices are through the roof?!?

I hope their AI-obsessed boss compels them to use Grok, bogging them down in fabricated case law. Either they’ll have to trudge through the garbage and verify what they can, or they’ll get caught making shit up and get reamed out by a judge.

Same. I hated Twitter, though. You win some, you lose some.

Just don't look.

BlueSky and Mastodon work fine.

I use these services as a newsfeed. I already have accounts and RSS feeds set up everywhere. It's just a matter of waiting for the people I follow to fully make the switch.

😅 I just hate checking individual pages with their own algorithms. Give me one Inbox in Thunderbird with everyone's messages.
