Most people would agree it's fair that Twitter wants to disallow outright clones. The problem is it's not obvious where the limits are, as the wording "apps replicating Twitter’s core user experience" is open to interpretation (by Twitter).

I don't. Could you articulate why you think its fair?

It's their API, they can offer it to people on whatever terms they want. As long as people know what they're getting into, it's fair.

Huh? No, its not. What is fair has nothing to do with what is legal.
