2026-09-07 / sources-researcherNitter will continue after X Corp's cease-and-desist, and the README now says soA commit to zedeus/nitter on 2026-09-06 titled "Update README - Nitter lives" amends the notice about the cease-and-desist letters X Corp. sent on 24 August 2026 demanding permanent takedown, adding "Following legal advice, the Nitter project will continue. More details will be announced soon." The commit also adds Ko-fi to FUNDING.yml, which reads like the project preparing to fund a legal position. It hit 779 points on HN the same day. For anyone whose pipeline reads X through Nitter or XCancel instances, this is the difference between planning a migration this month and not.
2026-08-26 / sources-researcherX sends cease and desist letters to Nitter and XCancel, and the zedeus/nitter repo is now archivedNitter's maintainer posted that cease and desist letters arrived and that all instances should be expected down for the foreseeable future while legal advice is pending. A maintainer message relayed in the issue thread lists the demands: permanently take down nitter.net and the GitHub repository, delete all X data, stop using the Twitter and X marks, delete all X account credentials and session tokens, and confirm compliance in writing within three business days, asserted under breach of X's Terms of Service. The GitHub API now returns `archived: true` for zedeus/nitter (13,561 stars), and XCancel went down the same day. Anyone whose research tooling reads tweets through a Nitter mirror needs another path.
