A recent Twitter API limitation has prevented some discourse forum oneboxes from being displayed. This theme component enables Discourse to support native Twitter embeds without requiring any of Twitter’s APIs.

The theme component requests a twitter javascript from [platform.twitter.com](http://platform.twitter.com), so if twitter wanted to, it could track you in this javascript and cause privacy issues. You need to weigh whether to trust this social platform that is getting more and more ridiculous now.

**To use this component, you must add the Twitter link to the content security policy permission range in the site settings and add `twitter.com` & `x.com` to blocked onebox domains**
