The algorithmic trading firms were already doing this via scraping. What I’m curious about is if they’re going to also impose a slight delay between when posts show up in the API vs when they’re posted on the website.

That doesn’t matter. That’s fundamentally different than the president selling access to himself.

Yes, they say it will be a few milliseconds. This service is squarely targeted at algo trading firms.

thats math bots reading trades and making best guesses.

probably detremental to the market as a whole but not fundamentally illegal -- they're just watching really, really, really closely.

DJT is selling access to stuff that he knows will move the market, and may only be done just to move the market. wholesale graft, and depending on who benefits, possibly treason.
