    It’s just javascript. You can use ublock zap feature to remove the modal, this is why nitter is still working.

    To much work for them to do authorization at the API level, they most likely fired all of their backend engineers already.

      Nitter isn’t working anymore though, and trying to view a tweet while logged out forces you to twitter.com/i/flow/login now so you can’t just block the modal

      How does that end up affecting google search? Do twitter threads just disappear from results now?

      I don’t think so? It seems like you’re directed to a login page. There is no modal and no content under it. I’m only on my phone now so can’t be that sure, but it looks like it.
