On August 24, 2026, X Corp. sent cease and desist letters demanding the permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository. On September 8, 2026, they sent another letter with the same demands and legal threats. A previous update on September 7 indicated that the project would continue with legal representation, based on assurances that have since proven untrue. The project is now seeking funding and legal help to continue its operations. Individuals or organizations that can assist are encouraged to reach out. Donations will first cover legal costs, with any remaining funds supporting the development of Nitter or its successor. Further updates will be posted as they become available.
