From April 30, 2023 you will no longer be able to share your WordPress.​com posts automatically to Twitter using Jetpack Social.

Twitter decided, on short notice, to dramatically change the terms and pricing of the Twitter API. We have attempted to work with Twitter in good faith to negotiate new terms, but we have not been able to reach an agreement. As a result, we will need to remove the functionality.

You can still auto-share your posts to Tumblr, Facebook, and LinkedIn. And you are able to share your posts on Twitter manually by pasting the post link into the body of your tweet. In the near future, we are adding the ability to auto-share to Instagram and Mastodon, and we are continuing to release new features in Jetpack Social.

Thank you for your understanding of this situation. Please feel free to connect with support if you need any help.

Thanks, The WordPress.​com team

So, yes, I copied and pasted this email for everyone to see because the idea of someone demanding his First Amendment rights, it brings up a lot of questions and doing this last minute is beyond offensive, and while we can’t say all the obscene things here, but quite frankly after the whole Murdoch Thang… The only thing I feel like saying is… this guy isn’t even from here and goes so far as to end the easy-breezy way of blogging from WordPress to Twitter… after, what, 10yrs. Is the goal to control the First Amendment?

This is America and while Twitter is a Social Media platform, the concept of Free Speech just got trashed…. I read this back and yes it is dramatic but considering all the time savings JetPack Social offered copy&paste is sad… lol

Hope to see you all soon.
