There was a chrome extension I used that would get you past the login pop-up. Which no longer works, because this is a full-on redirect to the login page.
Pre-Musk I don't believe there was anything other than a "plz signup" popup for reading tweets. It was limited to seeing who accounts were following, liking & their media posts.
This is complete blocking- Musk started doing it with searches a few weeks ago and now it's everything.
You're right, it's been borked. It was working just hours ago but now no access without logging in. The USA.
They've been doing that for years. Every now and then they try to force you to login to see tweets/comments/etc.
In the past you could just hit the X on the login dialog to get to the tweet. Tested it in a private window and that doesn't appear to work anymore.

Use an instance of nitter if you want to view twitter.
Nitter is somewhat borked- you can't see "tweets & replies" just tweets and they no longer get around the "18+ you must be logged in to view"

NEWS: Twitter's web version no longer allows users to browse without logging in. All urls redirect to the signup page.
This is believed to be a measure to make it harder for scrapers to take Twitter's data, like ChatGPT's web browsing plugin has been doing.
I have the same problem, but the Wayback Machine doesn't.
For anyone who has this issue: do you live in the EU? I suspect shenanigans.
USA and I get some i/flow link and cdn-apple.com.
Apparently there's some partnership thing in the works, and Apple posted an apple tv episode on twitter.
So I think it's some kind of apple announcement that redirects if you're not logged in because twitter code is so messed up. Probably not intentional.
New Zealand here, same thing happening to me.
I am in Europe and I can't view twitter links because I do not have an account.
all this has done is increase traffic to nitter, the instance I'm using is laggy as fuck, thanks musk
Tried it. Didn't work. At least nitter is functional for the moment.
Only NSFW labeled tweets
Same issue here. I'm exclusively on mobile but as of yesterday am unable to view anything.
