We reported: As of Friday, most third-party clients for Twitter stopped working. Users were logged out, logging in again was and is no longer possible. Not an error on the user’s side, but an action by Twitter.
Developers say their apps are missing from the developer portals, users are missing their Twitter apps from the approved applications for the service. Twitter’s comment on this? none. Even steam chatterer Elon Musk is silent. Now internal chats should have shown: The whole thing is intended.
A software engineer wrote out loud the report in an internal Twitter Slack channel, used by employees to manage outages and disruptions to Twitter services, that third-party apps are being suspended. The engineer declined to comment when contacted Saturday afternoon. A product marketing executive also reportedly wrote that the company “has started working on the communication,” but that there was no estimate of when it would be ready, the news shows.
