So as the title says, are there any potential legal issues you can get snagged in for using redact.dev’s software on twitter? Could twitter ban you for using Redact?
No, even if Elon wanted to pursue you or ban you, the US Government says he’s not allowed to interfere with how you choose to manage your content on their site, even if it’s an automated app.

That law protects Redact (and you) from any harm. Twitter/X/Elon are not allowed to prevent you from using Redact.

Redact is legally protected content management. None of these sites can tell you how you’re able to manage your content.
thanks fgor the replies!
Technically speaking you are only deleting your own stuff while logged into your own account. Same as clicking delete, just repeated faster using redact’s app. The only real risk is that doing a ton of identical actions in a short window can look sort of botty, so X will rate limit you, throw captchas, ask for phone verification, or temporarily lock actions. if you are trying to wipe years of content, pulling from your archive usually helps a lot, because relying on what X shows you via normal scrolling/search can miss older posts.
