Twitter has an api so you got to nitter.net/whatever, nitter pass the "whatever" into the api call and get the data for the tweet back and present it to you without all the bloat/adverts/tracking etc of the twitter pages.
Of course this means that nitter could potentially be adding their own bloat/adverts/tracking etc - either already or in the future.
Do you know how they get the data, and haven't been shut down yet? Either technically or legally?
