alt Hacker NewsAm I remembering correctly that when Elon first took over, he took that gate down because of his whole free speech thing. I'm guessing they re-instated it as soon as it hit the bottom line. Makes me wonder if government should still rely on it for comms.

One of the first things Twitter did post Elon was remove sign in gating then I guess the bankers pressed Elon and it went back up. Can't always do everything you want in business, I guess. Bills come first.

I think it was removed by geohot when he was in the house, but then reinstated after a while. I remember him railing against it.
Wasn't it because of extensive scraping?
