The API changes were delayed until after the Super Bowl. There is a somewhat rational actor somewhere in the SpaceX dust and fumes. I still have no clear picture if the Academic API is slated to be degraded. Does anyone? The free Search API is operating normally as of this moment. The pushback has been impressive. Taking the long view, I think the rush to look beyond Twitter without a clear picture of what is happening or why is premature. No matter what the new policy is, studying the impact of Twitter, even if you need a grant to do it, will remain important until the system goes offline or social movements cease to use it, or elections no longer hinge on whether accounts can Tweet and delete and Tweet using automation to sway algorithmic rankings, etc. We all have examples of strange things happening on Twitter that seem to matter. We have a duty to study it, even if there are charges that are likely analogous to the cost of interviews, field work, focus groups, surveys, and other traditional $-first results later research.

Hi all,
Magically, Twitter academic API is still collecting tweets for me as of today. Is it the same case for you all?
