On behalf of the Association of Internet Researchers #AoIR, we join the Coalition for Independent Technology Research's call for #Twitter to *not close* their free API access for vital public-interest research & ask policymakers to enshrine this form of access to all big platforms.

”The Old Stockholm telephone tower was a metallic structure built to connect approximately 5,500 telephone lines in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. Constructed in 1887, the tower was used until 1913. It was damaged by a fire in 1952 and demolished the following year.”

"Twitter was the most important API. Up until the end of 2022 I was ready to fight for it, but I am fully captivated by the power of the #Fediverse now. While I don’t think all the mainstream people will move to #Mastodon, I am tired of rebuilding on someone else’s platform. I want my next round of work to occur on my platform. The people’s platform. I am not worried about reaching same scale + scope that Twitter, Facebook + others have. I am just looking for my people"
