A paid service that lets researchers, publishers, and developers legally archive and access public social posts through compliant proxy tools.
Compliance‑first social archive and proxy services
Cease-and-desist notices to Nitter and XCancel, and TechCrunch’s report that X sent one to Nitter, show the legal risk for services that copy public posts. Hacker News notes Nitter and XCancel resumed service after legal advice, which suggests a small opening now for paid, compliant archives and officially sanctioned proxy tools.
Projected Score
as a side gig ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5)
