Odaily Planet Daily News: ElizaOS founder Shaw wrote in Farcaster: "X (Twitter) contacted me claiming that we violated certain terms of service, including selling data and selling certain content by bypassing API keys. We have never done this before, neither in the past nor in the future. They directly cited my open source code as a reason for the ban - but that wasn't even primarily my own code, just something pieced together from other open source projects. They said that if we pay $50000 per month for the enterprise license, we will stop making things difficult. Currently, we pay $1000 per month for "yellow label" certification and $200 per month for developer licenses. Why can changing to a corporate account change my right to publish open source code? This is blatant extortion and should not be legal at all. I don't want to be a part of this system, it completely goes against my principles. We are considering whether to resort to legal means
