X (Twitter)

X is a major platform for real-time content sharing. In its rebranding efforts, X — formerly known as Twitter — abruptly took control of one of its user accounts with the handle @x. In 2023 twitter has shut off its free API and, predictably, it’s breaking a lot of apps and websites.

Initially, the social media platform allowed people to access some of its features without creating an account. For instance, people could browse the social platform’s Explore page and view some posts without logging into their accounts. However, the recent changes to the platform have greatly limited this features.
