In addition to turning off their API, #Twitter has also inexplicably turned off access for users to sign in to Flipboard and other platforms with Twitter SSO.
This is an unacceptable breach of trust between Twitter and their developers and users. Twitter must be held to account here.
@mike This is interesting, I just tested the Twitter SSO integration in our LMS #OpenOlat and it still works. Wonder if it does not work with Flipboard due to request limitations on Twitters side. I think I‘ve read that a certain number of API calls are free.
In any case it is stupid to not allow making use of the SSO API, this obviously rather turns user away from Twitter than binding them…
@gnaegi Thanks. We will check this out. cc @JsonCulverhouse and @greg
