X sends cease-and-desist to open-source project Nitter over alleged scraping

X has sent cease-and-desist letters to Nitter, the open-source project behind privacy-friendly X frontends, demanding its instances and code repository be taken down over alleged scraping. This action targets the project's infrastructure, potentially impacting users who rely on Nitter for anonymous access to X content. The move escalates X's enforcement against third-party tools that bypass its platform.
