? Well, it looks to be over. ?

Tonight, without any prior announcements, Twitter has disabled any access to tweets withot login. This means that the bot can't retrieve the data anymore, so I am shutting it down.

I'll keep the channels, but there will be no updates unless Twitter reverses its decision or I will find a way to bypass this limitation (which is unlikely).

It's very ironic and sad to see how two big platforms, Twitter and Reddit, go down the closure pass simultaneousely.

Thank you for staying here for all this time.

(#) I bring bad luck to media - or maybe I am just one of those who stay until the end? Russian authorities declared @novayagazeta_en "an undesirable organization" today. My column appeared there on the same day. Last year, my post was on the Echo Moskvy front web-page on the day when it was closed down. I was interviewed live on @tvrain on their last day in Russia. A year before that, my last column in Vedomosti triggered a chain of events that destroyed the newspaper.

Of course, in each case, my column or post or interview was not a real cause. Still, I feel like an angel of death of sorts. The good thing is of course that @novayagazeta_en will not close down - the designation as "undesirable" by the Putin's henchmen just mean that the colleagues are doing the excellent journalistic job.
