I added Twitter to my extension to bypass age verification!

Hi! If you don’t know me, I made an #opensource #browserextension for #firefox to skip age verification screens on many platforms!

Recently, #Twitter (yes, I’m not calling it X!) sent a cease and deceist letter to #Nitter that allowed you to browse privately. I think this sucks, so now if you want to see an age restricted post you can use my extension to show it! (Still needs to be logged in to an account however, otherwise twitter won’t return the tweet data)

🧩 Extension : https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-verification-bypass/

💻 Source : https://github.com/helloyanis/age-verification-bypass

Basically, it works by taking all the data from age restricted posts and re-arranging it in the way that regular posts do!

If you’re still on twitter (why!) feel free to give it a try, and give me some feedback! Thanks!! 🦊🧡

    In Germany, for example, thanks to data retention laws, connection information such as IP addresses and their assignments is already being stored anyway.

    This is wrong. Vorratsdatenspeicherung was ruled unconstitutional multiple time already. They always try to put in law again, but court will just throw out again.

    And i know about the SEK raid caused by Andy “Pimmel” Grote.

    Bypassing them will then be declared illegal.

    But this do a huge ton of lifting for you. There cannot be blanket ban on bypass because what if use but not actually follow service rule. For example require id verify. Ok i use other person id. What now? This what i mean, cannot close loophole fast enough because text can always interpret in different way.
