| Of more concern, the Nitter github repository was permanently archived a couple of days ago. https://github.com/zedeus/nitter |

| On that same page: UPDATE: Following legal advice, the Nitter project will continue. More details will be announced soon. |

| ▲ | petcat 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | > Following legal advice It's impossible to know what this "legal advice" was, but the software project itself is probably fine. The legal risk is always going to be with the person that hosts it with the intention of facilitating the unauthorized access of Twitter's website. Seems like that could run afoul of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Those people should seek their own legal advice. | | |

| ▲ | angoragoats 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The repo being archived happened after that UPDATE post that you mention. So the project has gone from suspended, to un-suspended, and now it's suspended again (and the repo got archived this time). Edit: I see I'm being downvoted for just providing facts, so here's some evidence: you can see on the main project page that the repo was archived on 11 Sep[0]. Looking in the commits, the "UPDATE" message was commited on 6 Sep[1]. [0] https://github.com/zedeus/nitter [1] https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/commit/1428b4c2b4246f92a7e5... |

| Zedeus said "it's hopefully temporary, but it'll remain that way until further notice." in the matrix room |

| > permanently archived Why do you say it’s permanent? Unarchiving a GitHub repository is reversible, and just as easy as archiving it. |
