Twitter doesn't load properly. Most likely because they have switched over to x.com and that domain is not on Twitter's entity list for ETP.

Work is happening in various places

(Setting webcompat:site-wait just to keep track of the outreach, not because we're actually waiting.)

We're fixing this via shavar by adding x.com to the Twitter entity: https://github.com/mozilla-services/shavar-prod-lists/commit/2c57e4b34367b23c8a1ee4522903575e3f7d0c16

To speed things up we're also deploying an allow-list entry via RemoteSettings (Bug 1897402). The change has been applied, but it still takes a while to propagate via the CDN. It should show up here soon https://firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com/v1/buckets/main/collections/url-classifier-skip-urls/records

Once the shavar fix has propagated and is verified we can remove the RemoteSettings allow-list entry.

Fixed as per comment 4. Once we remove the allowlist intervention we should verify the shavar fix again.
