<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Turkiye<\/a> and Syria, thousands of volunteer software developers have been using a crucial Twitter<\/a> tool to comb the platform for calls for help - including from people trapped in collapsed buildings - and connect people with rescue organisations. They could soon lose access unless they pay Twitter a monthly fee of at least $100 - prohibitive for many volunteers and nonprofits on shoestring budgets.

\"That's not just for rescue efforts which unfortunately we're coming to the end of, but for logistics planning too as people go to Twitter to broadcast their needs,\" said Sedat Kapanoglu, the founder of Eksi Sozluk, Turkiye's most popular social platform, who has been advising some of the volunteers in their efforts.

Nonprofits, researchers and others need the tool, known as the
API<\/a>, or Application Programming Interface, to analyse Twitter data because the sheer amount of information makes it impossible for a human to go through by hand.

Kapanoglu says hundreds of \"good Samaritans\" have been giving out their own, premium paid API access keys (Twitter already offered a paid version with more features) for use in the rescue efforts. But he says this isn't \"sustainable or the right way\" to do this. It might even be against Twitter's rules.

The loss of free API access means an added challenge for the thousands of developers in Turkiye and beyond who are working around the clock to harness Twitter's unique, open ecosystem for disaster relief.

\"For Turkish coders working with Twitter API for disaster monitoring purposes, this is particularly worrying - and I'd imagine it is similarly worrying for others around the world that are using Twitter data to monitor emergencies and politically contested events,\" said Akin Unver, a professor of international relations at Ozyegin University in Istanbul.

The new fees are just the latest complication for programmers, academics and others trying to use the API - and they say communicating with anyone at the company has become essentially impossible since
Elon Musk<\/a> took over.

Twitter had originally planned to introduce the changes last week, but delayed it until Monday. On Monday, the company tweeted that it was delaying the launch again \"by a few more days,\" without providing more details.

The API paywall is Musk's latest attempt to squeeze revenue out of Twitter, which is on the hook for about $1 billion in yearly interest payments from the billionaire's acquisition, completed in October.

It's not just disaster relief groups that are concerned. Academic and non-governmental researchers for years have used Twitter to study the spread of misinformation and hate speech or research public health or how people behave online.

Rebekah Tromble, director of the Institute for Data, Democracy, and Politics at George Washington University, used the Twitter API to track conversations on Twitter to see what kinds of tweets elicited attacks from trolls - and what got them to go away - in one study.

\"With so little information from Twitter about the practicalities of this new policy, the specifics of it, we just don't know where to go. We have no way to do the planning. And for many of us who are in the field, running programs, running projects that have real world consequences, that's pretty scary,\" she said.

Twitter wasn't alone but was unique among
social media<\/a> companies in making its API open and free. TikTok<\/a>, for instance, is working on it now but so far has not released its API. Facebook's is more limited because the company is very protective of the data it collects.

Tromble said social platforms like YouTube, Facebook,
Instagram<\/a> and others are taking steps to increase researcher access and transparency - largely due to new European regulations. Twitter, on the other hand, is moving in the opposite direction.

\"They've gone from first in class to absolute dead last,\" she said.

It costs money to maintain an API. As a private company, Twitter is free to charge for its tools. But researchers and developers say it wouldn't take much for Musk to carve out exceptions for academic research and nonprofits.

\"No other technology has changed society as quickly and as profoundly as social media. Having access to the thoughts and emotions of other people worldwide, that's a fundamental change to society,\" said Kristina Lerman, a computer science professor at the University of Southern California who studies misinformation. \"And you can't understand it without access to data, access to observe.\"

Takeshi Kawamoto, a Japanese software developer who runs a popular earthquake alert bot with more than 3 million followers, created the account back in 2007 as a hobby.

There are an incredible number of such bots on Twitter - useful, friendly or quirky accounts set up by people or group with a specific interest. There are weather bots, tools that combine long Twitter threads into one easy-to-read file, bots that send quotes from famous books or people, bots that remind you to stand up and stretch at random intervals during the day, bots that insert a little bit of nonsense and weirdness into your Twitter scrolling.

The earthquake bot Kawamoto created didn't take off until the devastating 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster that hit Japan, when people turned to it for information about quakes and aftershocks.<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":97903530,"title":"Threats emanating from Chinese telecom, surveillance equipment haunts global clients","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/threats-emanating-from-chinese-telecom-surveillance-equipment-haunts-global-clients\/97903530","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[{"msid":"97899978","title":"Twitter API","entity_type":"IMAGES","seopath":"tech\/technology\/twitters-plan-to-charge-for-crucial-tool-prompts-outcry\/twitter-api","category_name":"Twitter's plan to charge for crucial tool prompts outcry","synopsis":false,"thumb":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/thumb\/img-size-25988\/97899978.cms?width=150&height=112","link":"\/image\/tech\/technology\/twitters-plan-to-charge-for-crucial-tool-prompts-outcry\/twitter-api\/97899978"}],"msid":97904108,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Twitter's plan to charge for crucial tool prompts outcry","synopsis":"The loss of free API access means an added challenge for the thousands of developers in Turkiye and beyond who are working around the clock to harness Twitter's unique, open ecosystem for disaster relief.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/twitters-plan-to-charge-for-crucial-tool-prompts-outcry","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"AP","artdate":"2023-02-14 10:52:16","lastupd":"2023-02-14 10:54:43","breadcrumbTags":["twitter","turkey earthquake","api","instagram","tiktok","turkiye","elon musk","mvas\/apps","social media"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/twitters-plan-to-charge-for-crucial-tool-prompts-outcry"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2023-02-14" data-index="article_1">

Twitter的收费计划至关重要的工具提示的强烈抗议

免费API访问的损失意味着成千上万的开发者的一个额外的挑战Turkiye内外昼夜不停地工作,利用Twitter的独特,为救灾开放的生态系统。

在毁灭性的地震之后Turkiye和叙利亚,成千上万的志愿者软件开发人员使用一个至关重要的推特工具来梳理平台要求帮助——包括人被困在倒塌的建筑中,连接人与救援组织。他们可能很快失去访问,除非他们Twitter每月支付费用至少100美元——禁止对许多志愿者和非营利组织预算紧张。

“不仅对救援工作,不幸的是我们即将物流规划也随着人们去Twitter广播他们的需求,”塞达特Kapanoglu说,江苏爱克赛的创始人Sozluk, Turkiye最受欢迎的社交平台,建议的一些志愿者在他们的努力。

非营利组织,研究人员和其他需要的工具,称为API,或应用程序编程接口,分析Twitter数据因为庞大的信息量让一个人通过。

Kapanoglu说数以百计的“好撒玛利亚人”给出了自己的,保险费API访问键(Twitter已经提供了一个与更多的功能付费版本)用于救援工作。但是他说这不是“可持续或正确的方式”。它甚至可能对Twitter的规则。

免费API访问的损失意味着成千上万的开发者的一个额外的挑战Turkiye内外昼夜不停地工作,利用Twitter的独特,为救灾开放的生态系统。

“土耳其程序员使用Twitter API灾害监测的目的,这是令人特别担忧,我想象它同样让世界各地的人使用Twitter数据监测突发事件和政治上有争议的事件,“说类似Unver写道,在伊斯坦布尔Ozyegin大学国际关系教授。

新的费用只是最新的并发症为程序员,学者和其他人试图使用API——和他们说与任何人沟通在公司基本上已经成为不可能Elon Musk接管。

Twitter原计划上周介绍更改,但推迟到周一。周一,该公司在推特上,它又一次推迟发射“几天”,没有提供更多的细节。

API收费是麝香的最新尝试挤出Twitter的收入,这是为每年约10亿美元的利息从亿万富翁的收购,在10月份完成。

不仅仅是救灾团体担心。学术和非政府研究者多年来使用Twitter来研究错误信息的传播和仇恨言论或研究公共卫生或人们的网上行为。

负责人丽贝卡Tromble研究所的数据,民主和政治在乔治华盛顿大学,使用Twitter API跟踪对话在Twitter上看到什么样的微博引发了巨魔的攻击——什么让他们消失在一项研究中。

“有这么少的信息来自Twitter的这项新政策的实用性,它的细节,我们不知道去哪里。我们没有办法做规划。和对我们许多人来说,运行程序,运行项目真实世界的后果,这很可怕,”她说。

Twitter并不是唯一一个但中是独一无二的社交媒体公司在其API开放和自由。TikTok例如,现在正在但到目前为止还没有公布的API。Facebook的更为有限,因为该公司很保护它收集的数据。

Tromble说社交平台像YouTube, Facebook,Instagram和其他国家正在采取措施来增加研究人员访问和透明度——很大程度上是由于新的欧洲法规。Twitter,另一方面,正朝着相反的方向发展。

“他们已经从第一次在课堂上绝对死,”她说。

花费钱来维持一个API。作为一家私人公司,Twitter是自由电荷的工具。但研究人员和开发人员说这不会需要太多麝香开拓异常学术研究和非营利组织。

“没有其他科技改变了社会尽可能迅速而深刻的社会媒体。获得他人的思想和情感在世界范围内,对社会是一个根本性的改变,“克里斯蒂娜Lerman说,南加州大学的计算机科学教授研究错误信息。“你不能理解它没有对数据的访问,访问观察。”

北野川,一个日本软件开发人员运行一个受欢迎的地震警报机器人拥有超过300万的粉丝,早在2007年创建了账户。

在Twitter上有一个令人难以置信的数量的机器人——有用,友好或古怪的账户设置或组的人与一个特定的兴趣。有天气机器人工具长Twitter线程合并成一个易于阅读的文件,机器人发送引用著名的书籍或人,机器人,提醒你站了起来,伸了个懒腰随机间隔白天,机器人,一点废话和古怪的插入你的Twitter滚动。

地震机器人川创建没有起飞,直到2011年毁灭性的地震,海啸和核灾难袭击日本,当人们转向关于地震和余震的信息。
