[Peace-discuss] Tucker on Twitter (for now) and on Rumble too: https://rumble.com/c/TuckeronTwitter

[J.B. Nicholson]

I'm not sure if Tucker Carlson's show "Tucker on Twitter" is going to stay on 
Twitter. Twitter policy has changed: now Twitter is unreadable without a Twitter 
account. Elon Musk claimed that he instituted this and other changes (such as limits 
on how many posts one can read in 24 hours) were made "To address extreme levels of 
data scraping & system manipulation". But now Twitter gets to know that any Twitter 
post is only read by a Twitter user account holder, not the general public reading 
posts without logging in.

So until Twitter front-ends like Nitter (see https://nitter.net for more info) get 
accounts and use them to proxy-read posts, you won't be able to read Twitter without 
a Twitter account.

I don't think Twitter's policy changes were aimed at Tucker Carlson. But I think 
those changes sharply hurt Carlson's reach. If I were Carlson I'd switch to other 
distribution points (archive.org, rumble.com, rokfin.com, and Carlson's own website 
among other technically-literate and less easily censored choices like encrypted 
networks and use of BitTorrent) so that people can continue to download and watch his 
show without any kind of account anywhere.

Someone (possibly Tucker Carlson's team) has been posting his videos to Rumble.com as 
well:
