respecting your privacy, Nitter is on average around 15 times lighter than
Twitter, and in most cases serves pages faster (eg. timelines load 2-4x faster).
In the future a simple account system will be added that lets you follow Twitter
users, allowing you to have a clean chronological timeline without needing a
Twitter account.

**All illegal content should be reported to Twitter directly.** This service is
merely a proxy of Twitter and no content is hosted on this server. Do not waste
your time contacting internet service providers, hosting providers and/or domain
registrars.
If you would like more context, you can read about this exact issue happening to
[PussTheCat.org's instance](https://pussthecat.org/nitter/).

"phones home" to Twitter's CDN (which doesn't really pose a tracking risk and
breaks videos anyways), as it [has been used as an attack vector to take down
nitter.net](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/issues/1150#issuecomment-1890855255).
