SMS authentication was being abused by bots costing Twitter 60M a year. Other authentication methods (apps, keys) may be used by anyone for free. Blue check marks are paid for verified people and may continue to use SMS authentication. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1627059645293670401?s=20

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1626863077814566912

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
