I don't see how even deep and reasonable lack of sympathy for Twitter, and equally deep sympathy for PeopleBrowsr, has any bearing on Twitter's right to terminate a contract it has a clear right to terminate.
Unless Twitter is grossly misrepresenting the facts, PeopleBrowsr knew perfectly well what terms they were getting their access on. The contract expired 16 months ago and has been automatically renewed on a month-by-month basis, with a 30 days notice period. Twitter then gave notice.
My feelings towards Twitter have absolutely no bearing on their contract with PeopleBrowsr. Of this I'm aware.
They might want to consider PR though. But, to be honest, I think they have considered it, and their position is "we don't care what the neck-beards think about us anymore, @katyperry is trending!"
So I'm a neck-beard and I take offense to this. It's practically what they want.
I don't see what's to get up in arms about. As far as I can tell Twitter wants to use 3 re-sellers not cut access. Honestly, this seems more inline with an ecosystem and far less prone to abuse. Just look at what adding 3rd party re-sellers aka "domain name registrars" did to the DNS market.
