In this thread I have seen the owner of Twitter referred to as Idiot
and Knucklehead. And that was just today. If this is the way the blind
community expects to gain both respect and accessibility then good
luck. And enjoy those third party apps. Oh wait! There are no more
third party apps. I wonder why? Perhaps communication and disrespect
of the blind and sighted communities are both breaking down these
days. Perhaps Entitlement and Empowerment sometimes gets a bit
confused in both the business and the private sector.

My sentiments exactly, I love the Twitter app, and will always
continue to use it. And if I have a problem, I'll go to the
knucklehead himself and ask him. Why did you have to get rid of your
accessibility people I follow him directly.

Facebook, with no 3rd party apps, and how many blind people are
still using it.

Twitter is just fine. What’s your source for them firing their

apps to be utilized doesn’t mean that it’s a bad company.
Many companies do you things how they want. Look at Apple.

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps
AppleInsider / [email protected] (Amber Neely)

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit
third-party app makers from creating their own clients using the
company's API.
On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a
clause prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter
clients.
The change comes a few days after developers began reporting
<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/01/16/twitter-frustrating-developers-as-it-cuts-off-some-third-party-apps>
their apps no longer worked.
The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has
been expanded to help "enforce its long-standing API rules,"
according to the company's development Twitter account. It noted
that, as a result, some apps might not work.
Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may
result in some apps not working.

However, as /Engadget/ points out,
<https://www.engadget.com/twitter-new-developer-terms-ban-third-party-clients-211247096.html>
it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps
have been central to Twitter use for most of the social media
platform's history.
Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's
history since the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app
before Twitter did and is credited with coining the word "tweet."
As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling
their apps out of the App Store.
Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to
pull Twitterrific from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.
Twitter's unexplained revocation of our API access has left
the app with no path forward. Please read our blog for more
information https://t.co/UZSdmqZtMD <https://t.co/UZSdmqZtMD>

Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current
controversies purportedly caused by Elon Musk acquiring the
company
<https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/10/28/elon-musk-reigns-as-twitter-ceo-fires-top-execs-first-day>
in October 2022. This particular move is probably focused on
preserving advertising revenue for the company, as third-party
clients often filtered out sponsored posts and similar media.
In December,
<https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/12/18/twitter-blocks-user-links-to-other-social-platforms-except-for-paid-ads>
Twitter began blocking user links to other social platforms. That
was rolled back after user protest, and it's not clear when or if
that will begin again.
