Goodbye twitter I guess. There’s no longer any way to see twitter things people send you without an account

    There’s nothing illegal about breaking Twitter terms of service. You might get banned, but that’s it.

      That would be in it in ideal world but Twitter can sue you for damages as you explicitly agree with ToS in most countries especially US. There’s enough precedence when it comes to “login” scraping in the US that you’d most likely lose (though probably not a massive payout)

      Twitter is unlikely to bother with small non-commercial scrapers but I wouldn’t risk attaching any tracable info even for small personal projects.
