Like I just posted in another thread, you guys have no idea what we have to go through every day to keep this site alive and working.
I have had my personal Forums account linked to my Twitter account for easy login ever since we upgraded to Zenforo years ago. Today, I tried to login using Twitter and received an error message (I had previously been logged in for many months without logging out).
I go to our developer account portal and see this:
OK:
1) How in the **** did we violate any rules and policies? This is a simple 'app' that does nothing more than provide a user authentication token back to our forums.
2) They have our email address. Why did they not bother to notify us of this grave crime against society?
I'll tell you what it is. All of these corporate bullies use their Terms & Conditions as a blanket way to shutdown users. They refuse to be specific, thus you have no grounds with which to sue them.
I think what happened is that old Mr. Musk, having paid twice as much as Twitter is worth, is trying to recoup some income. He made the snap judgement that everyone was going to pay for API access, since they're probably all big companies who make lots of money from Twitter data. So, they just shut down everyone's API with ZERO/0 advance notice.
There is supposed to be a 'free' level of access for mom and pops like us, so technically we should not have been shut down.
I'm not even going to tell you about what I went through with ZuckerCorp a few months ago.
