When asked about the change, Twitter said it was simply “enforcing long-standing API rules.” Twitter’s oldest third-party client, Twitterriffic, which came to iOS even before Twitter itself, was forced to pull its apps from the iOS and Mac app stores as well.

We have long argued that Google is up to no good with its Topics API. TAG is a special working group within the The World Wide Web Consortium, and includes the inventor of the Web Tim Berners-Lee. Google disagreed with the findings, insisting that Topics is a significant improvement over third-party cookies. The proposed alternative to third-party cookies appears to “maintain the status quo of inappropriate surveillance on the web,” TAG said, while recommending that Google not proceed with the technology. Moreover, the data is “gathered and sent behind the scenes,” while the user has no “fine-grained control” over what it reveals about them, the group said. In its review of Topics, TAG notes that the technology still allows the browser to share information about the user’s online behavior. The group took aim at one specific element of the proposal, the Topics API, envisioned as a replacement for third-party cookies. The W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) has concluded that it did not meet its stated goal of enabling targeted advertising and protecting users from tracking and profiling at the same time. Google’s much-discussed Privacy Sandbox initiative has been dealt a stinging blow.
