Nitter and XCancel are dead (again) after X’s latest legal actions

Here's a thinking process:

  1. Analyze the Request:

    • "But last month, X sent Nitter a cease-and-desist letter over its alleged “unlawful use and circumvention” of X’s API and associated data."
    • "Essentially, X said that Nitter had scraped the social network’s data to access accounts and session tokens in violation of its rules."
    • "Despite the threat, Nitter said on its GitHub page that “following legal advice,
