[Cyrille Mixtapes]

Alsoif you are that annoyed with twitter cookies and you are just using twitter for surfing without login in, you can use It is privacy frontend of twitter which can be used with no cookies, no javascript etc.

With recent Twitter changes I had the new embed block setup to show my twitter feed on my blog site. Recently it started just showing a generic "There is no recent tweets to show" when the page is still active. Tried deleting the block and starting from the beginning but can't get it to be up to date.

Thank you, Paul, this explains why it is not working, but it is not a solution because we cannot ask the viewers of my clients' sites to log in to Twitter and disable privacy blocking tools every time they visit the mentioned sites.

i'm having the same issue. Even when logged into mu own twitter account in another tab and try looking at my client's websites I still only see the "Nothing to see here yet" message. Same is true for my own website.

@paul2009 thanks for looking into this. I am still unable to replicate your success. I have an unlinked page ( ) to try and explain / show my clients a number of different options that are available with When I use the tool it shows my feed but when I embed I get the 'Nothing to see here - yet' message.

I'm sure you are right about privacy tools but I can't seem to fix it. I have already disabled (not uninstalled) Ad Blocker Plus in Chrome and Firefox for my domain and no success. I also tried with Edge that has zero extensions at all and still the same issue.

If I am struggling then I fear my clients and visitors will too, and there is a high risk of visitors see the ugly / broken looking error message which is more damaging to clients tan simply avoiding and just having a button or fake image as placeholder.

I can't comment on what is causing the issue for you (I can't troubleshoot that from here ?) but I can assure you it does work when not blocked. The page you've linked is working fine for me. I hope that helps, if only a little.

While X (formerly Twitter) relies on advertising to stay afloat, your personal data doesn't need to pay the price. You can block Twitter ads by tweaking your Twitter privacy settings, using a privacy browser, or employing the best ad blockers.

An ad blocker is a powerful tool in the modern user's digital arsenal. Ad blockers can filter out advertising content, such as promoted posts and pop-up ads, providing you with a cleaner and faster browsing experience.

You can also directly influence the number of ads you see on Twitter by adjusting your privacy settings. Twitter provides a setting to opt out of personalized ads. This doesn't remove all ads but will limit the platform's ability to show targeted advertising, thus, resulting in a less invasive social media experience.

For those looking to take their digital privacy to the next level, using a privacy browser can be a game changer. Brave blocks ads and trackers by default, making it an excellent tool if you want to use Twitter without ad interruptions.

Apple provides a feature to limit ad tracking, which can be helpful if you use Twitter on an iPhone running iOS 13 or later. This function doesn't block ads entirely but restricts advertisers from using your data to serve targeted ads. By enabling this feature, you can reduce the number of personalized ads you encounter across all apps on your device.

The reasons to block Twitter ads extend beyond them being annoying. A clutter-free Twitter timeline ensures that the tweets you see are from people you choose to follow, not chosen by advertisers. This streamlined experience not only enhances your enjoyment but also improves the platform's usability, making it easier to engage with content that genuinely interests you.

Moreover, blocking Twitter ads serves as a precautionary measure against potential adware and malware, which can sometimes be disguised within or distributed through malicious ads. By preventing these ads from appearing, you significantly reduce the risk of inadvertently compromising your device's security.

Beyond these practical benefits, there's a compelling argument for privacy. Advertisements on Twitter are often tailored to your behavior and preferences through extensive tracking. By blocking ads, you limit the amount of data that advertisers can collect, helping to preserve your anonymity online.

In an era where digital footprints are closely monitored, controlling what you share indirectly through ad interactions is a proactive step toward maintaining your privacy. Check out our social media safety tips for more information.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that President Trump cannot block critics from his Twitter account. The decision comes at a time when many government officials are using social media platforms to communicate with the public. Here to talk about this case is NPR's Aarti Shahani. Hey there.AARTI SHAHANI, BYLINE: Hi.SHAPIRO: So this comes from an appellate court in New York. Tell us about the case.SHAHANI: Yes. It was a unanimous decision. All three judges agreed to uphold the lower court ruling. The case started two years ago. A few people joined a lawsuit against the president. They included a doctor, a university professor, a comedian and a police officer. Trump had blocked each of them from his Twitter account after they criticized him. And they said, hey, you can't do that. I've got freedom of speech. Blocking means a user who's logged in can't tweet at the president, read his tweets or join in and respond to other people commenting. Twitter created this feature after people complained about being harassed, say, by bullies or exes. Blocking lets you control who you hear from. Press some buttons and, bam, you create an echo chamber of just your adoring fans.Trump arguably did a version of that when he blocked his critics. And the problem with that, according to the court, is that the president uses Twitter in his official capacity as a public servant. It doesn't matter that he started his account in 2009 when he was a private citizen. That's not how he uses it anymore. @realDonaldTrump isn't where the president talks about his golf game. It's where he announces major decisions, like firing his chief of staff or banning transgender people in the military. As my esteemed colleague David Folkenflik puts it, the president's Twitter is his mood ring.SHAPIRO: What has the response to this ruling been from the president or the administration?SHAHANI: Well, the president has not tweeted about it yet. A Justice Department spokesperson said that the DOJ is disappointed with the court's decision and is exploring next steps. The DOJ reiterated its argument from court that the president's account is not a public forum. Blocking users is private conduct. Now, that argument didn't fly because the administration had said so much to the contrary. As the judges pointed out, Trump's former press secretary, Sean Spicer, called the tweets official statements.SHAPIRO: So beyond the president, what does this ruling mean for other politicians or public figures who are not elected politicians - I mean, movie stars, for example?SHAHANI: Well, it really focuses on public officials serving in a public capacity, OK, and that's key. Trump is the most high-profile blocker, but he's by no means the only official public servant doing so. I spoke with Jameel Jaffer. He is the director of the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University. He represented a group that filed the lawsuit against Trump. He also sued a Democrat, a county official in Virginia, for the same kind of behavior. Jaffer said the purpose of suing Trump is to bring the free speech rights that exist in the physical world into digital life.JAMEEL JAFFER: The whole point of the case was to take this body of law that exists off line - and that applies to spaces like town hall and city council meetings - and ensure that that same body of law would be applied to these new digital spaces that are increasingly important to our democracy.SHAHANI: And so what he's saying there is that in the real world at a town hall, the president can cover his ears if he doesn't like what someone has to say, but he can't make them shut up. So Jaffer says that's what Trump was effectively doing by blocking his critics on Twitter and the kind of activity he's trying to reverse.SHAPIRO: OK. So the president or a county official in Virginia can't block people on Twitter. What about when platforms delete accounts? Just briefly, does this ruling apply there?SHAHANI: Yeah. So the judges were careful to spell out the limits of this ruling. They said it's about public officials working in their official capacity. The judges are not deciding whether the social media companies are bound by the First Amendment. They were clear about that constraint.SHAPIRO: That's NPR's Aarti Shahani. Thanks so much.SHAHANI: Thanks very much.
