Twitter should not care about having an onion service.
Great example of a distraction that the Musk downsizing properly removed.

Did they properly remove it or does no one there even know it was/is happening. They didn’t shut it down, the seem to have left the lights on with nobody home.
Bigger picture - given the role news making and sharing in real time has always played in Twitter, it seems logical that services which may not provide obvious returns but which build a platform that journalists find useful would help do that.

I agree, it seems like they left it to rot instead of shutting it down. But again it is irrelevant to the business so who cares?

#15Why are they even using TLS? Onion services bring their own security.
That was a bigger discussion when Facebook did it back in the days and there's really no clear reason for and against it. In the end it mostly boils down to "regular people were educated that https is needed, so it's better to just keep doing that instead of explaining Tor to them". Which is a fair point I think.

It broke because there's no one left at the company who knows how to keep it online.

I think it’s intended to circumvent government blocks in times of unrest to ensure communication
Just a heads-up, it looks like your account might have been shadowbanned? You last few comments were all dead, as well as this one when I first saw it. Looks like someone else may have already vouched for it though.
I'm sure he's well aware, just look at his history, there's tons of people who have told him since July 23, 2022.

My understanding is the onion service was launched to provide access for people in places where Twitter is blocked. How is this "irrelevant to the business"?

If they really care about free speech and citizen journalism, they totally should have working onion service.
Of course they don’t care, not only because Musk is full of shit, but also because of billions from Saudis.
