While reading the Prince Harry saga there is a guy named Bouzy that is frequently mentioned. Natethelawyer is suing him. twitter people keep talking about how Bouzy had access to some twitter special API that helped him get people banned who were criticizing Markle and Harry and helped out people’s identities.. I have seen people ask Musk about removing this Bouzy guy access.
I gloss over technical things so really dont know what the deal is with the API business and who all can access it but it’s not just the govt who was influencing this banning.
I’m guessing by API they mean “Application Programming Interface” which would probably mean it’s a port into the application that accepts input.
Typically, it would require a simple app that the uploader would need to help ensure anyone trying to upload something would need to have to keep anyone else out.
However. It could simply be a hidden website address that only the uploader knows about, and it could conceivably accept anything, including something as simple as the username that the uploader wants banned.
