Twitter may be gradually introducing a specification that 'requires login to display tweets'



You need to log in to Twitter to post tweets and edit the list on Twitter, but you don't need to log in to Twitter if you just want to view tweets. However, it has been pointed out that Twitter is finally beginning to introduce a specification that requires login to display tweets as well.

According to Nimbo Gringo, a user of the bulletin board site Reddit, the login menu is now displayed when displaying tweets on August 19, 2021. If you click the image below, you can see the movie that you are actually asked to log in to the tweet display.



If you log out of Twitter and click the tweet from the official Twitter account to display it ...



The login menu is displayed.



If you open the tweet in a new tab ...



The tweet was displayed without any problem. This time, click the account name on the same tab to display the timeline of the official Twitter account.



However, the login menu was still displayed.



The movie is a demonstration by Mr. Nimbo Gringo's smartphone, but he said that he confirmed the same phenomenon on a PC. 'It's clear that Twitter, like Facebook, is trying to make it unusable without logging in,' said Nimbo Gringo.

At the time of article creation, to avoid displaying the login menu, 'access the tweet link directly from another site', 'open the tweet in a new tab', 'disable the twitter.com cookie', 'JavaScript' Workarounds have been discovered, such as 'use a Nitter instance that browses Twitter with little use.'
