Days after requiring users to log in to view tweets on the web, Twitter has silently removed these restrictions.

    I’m sorry, I’m still not seeing how Twitter fits into this. I’ve never needed to go on Twitter for any reason in my life, especially for info on my meds. I understand you’re providing a use case example but it just seems extremely silly to me.

    People are somehow ok convincing themselves that Twitter is an important public utility when it’s absolutely not. Step away, it’s ok you’ll be fine.

      Twitter has emergency services giving information. Which is great if you have wifi but not a working phone.

        I guarantee there are actual emergency service systems available that are not Twitter.

          Great. When you let me know how to locate them, let me know. Because no one here does.

            Well I mean, do you really think Twitter invented emergency services? Like it never existed before Twitter or something? For decades, centuries, everyone was completely in the dark about current situations lmao

              No, I think it means emergency services are relying on Twitter.
