By shutting off its free API, the social network will stop researchers from getting access to crucial data to track hate speech and disinformation.
Neither Twitter’s press office, which is believed to no longer be staffed, nor Elon Musk responded to a request for comment.

Their work will disappear if this trend continues.”
