People who commit attacks against powerful corporations need to understand and face that this is what they're doing. Creating Nitter is absolutely an attack against X, they knew it and felt it when they made it, thats the whole point. Yet somehow they decided that they should attach their names to it, host it on github, put themselves at the mercy of a "justice" system they probably already understood existed to protect the power structure and nothing more.
I liken it to old armies walking dick first into battle because of "honor." The ones that won acted like guerillas.
If youre going to attack a powerful entity, you need to do it in a way where there's nowhere to send a cease and desist. Your code should be hosted on ngit on one or many relays behind tor, or some other such approach that protects you. Your name should not be attached to such endeavors.
If youre writing disruptive FOSS software (redundant I know) you need to obfuscate its source as best you can and prepare for pushback if youre successful. You need to act like a guerilla.
Now they need money to fight the battle on the opponents turf. They're probably not going to get it. That could've been avoided.
I hope someone is hosting a fork of the software somewhere out of reach, and not attaching their name to it.
