Twitter’s Open Source Alternative Nitter Financial Support and Legal Aid

During the period without-centered social media solutions have gained importance, Nitter project entered into a new stage. The team developed open source Twitter interface, made the resource and legal support call for an ongoing development.

The challenges in front of Nitter are very sized:

• When project grows, infrastructure costs are increasing and require sustainable financing models
• There is no need for guidance of experienced law consultants due to legal ambiguities on the platform
• Open source team wants to continue offering alternative to users affected by limiting Twitter API
• Parasal resource required to support the work of volunteer developers in the project

As Twitter users’ concerns about privacy and control, open source alternatives like Nitter gain popularity. Uncentered interfaces allow individuals to have more control over their data and removes from advertising tracking.

Nitter team plans to overcome these challenges through community support and sponsorship. The project is expected to play an important role for internet freedom and data privacy, as a critical example of open source social media disaster.
