For context when Musk says Substack tried to download a portion of the database, think of the database as the heart of the website. It contains all the assets on how the website looks and feels. So of course Musk would banned the IP of Substack. This all stinks. Something sus...
Algorithm, yes. Database, hell no lmao. Those are two different things when it comes to making a website. Algorithm is the code that gives you what you want to see or gives you suggestions of what you might want to see, among other things. The database usually has the assets of the website, basically the layout of Twitter. Substack, allegedly, was downloading the database to make their own "fork" of Twitter, or maybe make Substack it's own Twitter. Either way, Musk banned the IP that was downloading the database and that IP was Substack. So from what I presume, Twitter probably automatically filters that IP as malicious, which is why everyone is having problems with links to Substack, because the IP used to download that database was from Substack.
Fucking hell. The database is NOT the "assets of the website" nor the layout of twitter... anyone can copy that straight off the twitter website since all of that is client side.
The database is all the tweet contents, the users, their connections...
The code that was released wasn't how the websites looks and feels. The code that was released was for the website's algorithm, the way it presents you information from who/what. Substack was trying to copy how the website looks to create their own "fork" of Twitter. They would need to make their own algorithm when it comes to serving content, but the "heart" or more like "body" of Twitter was what they were allegedly downloading. So Elon Musk banned Substacks IP, which in turn gave people that warning message when clicking on a Substack link on Twitter, saying the link might be dangerous.

How does it connect to Elon publishing some of the Twitter code on that file sharing site after Taibbis temper tantrum?
