Nitter and embeds still work at the moment. However, no one knows for how long. As a workaround the user-agent can be changed to "googlebot".

Nice one. But i suspect these embeds will not work for long.

You're right. None of the workarounds work any more. Neither the user-agent nor publish.twitter.com nor Nitter. Seems like they also don't want to be indexed by search engines any more.

At least they try to protect "their" data. /s
