My personal belief is yes. Legal talks to management after the case concludes, tells them this is the new reality, and management tells product to make the change.
At no time is management obligated or even remotely motivated to tell end users the real reason for making the change, because users believing that the platform is just a greedy corporation is better than them realizing that the platform will just roll over if the police presents them with a subpoena to snitch on a user.
Post-2024, with Elon running the government as fiscal/regulatory czar, Twitter policy is evidently stronger than judicial interpretation of Constitutional rights.
What happens to Twitter when Musk has to step down from his roles with Twitter/SpaceX/Tesla? Will sanity be allowed to fill the void? I really doubt anything at SpaceX/Tesla changes, but Twitter has the most wiggle room under someone else's leadership
Why would he step down? He doesn't seem the type to give up power just because something shiny is taking his attention. It's not like the incoming administration has signed a pledge to avoid conflicts of interest or anything
"legal" doesn't imply that Twitter/X won't send a C&D due to scraping that is expensive for a normal person to fight. Moreso if Twitter/X invokes the CFAA which has been common for scraping cases post HiQ vs. LinkedIn.
