Doesn't seem to be the case for me.

Same. Direct links to tweets seem to work, but going to a user’s page still presents a login page. I’m also not seeing Twitter embeds on sites loading properly.

Same here, can't read anything without logging in.

Yeah, also not working for me. I'll be emailing my local municipality to ask them to use some other platform for sharing news and events, as a matter of accessibility.

Twitter isn't even close to ideal or professional enough to post important updates on.
