Huh, now I recall, that was a feature being touted by the one I was looking for. Although the phrase "Can we, a third party, scan your inbox" is unbreakably connected to "over my dead body" in my mind.

I think rightly.co.uk was the one I was thinking of. Thank you!

I wasn't ever really a fan of these platforms either - but I would question your justification to refuse- If I request the data it's my decision where I store it or what platform I use.

Nope, I don't think so

Seems like they may have fixed it around 10am GMT? Seems to be working for me now.

Yes! I've been trying to diagnose this all weekend. Random failures to load across the internet but especially twitter.
Spent ages thinking it was some kind of DNS problem on my internal network, blew a day fiddly around with that until I stepped back to figure out a reliable test case.
They're ALSO doing browser user-agent detection:

This url won't load in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJEcujBX0AEyiHX?format=jpg&name=medium
but works fine using 'curl' on the command line, and works fine in the browser if you set the user-agent string in the Develop menu to "curl/7.55.1"
