Honestly, no. People bitch a lot but I've lived here a lot of years, my healthcare is fine, despite owning several guns I've never seen one fired at anyone, and I can pretty much do whatever I want.
This kind of shit is what regulatory oversight bodies do. There are no people in government because they're trying to fix anything, they're just trying to control something.
r/TheWire is one of my most missed parts of reddit. Years after the show ended it was still actively "are you taking notes on a criminal mf'n conspiracy?"
It's not quiet so cut and dry. The law is written to cover 90% but this isn't a criminal matter, it's a civil one, and civil suits are always decided in courtrooms. If I created a weed dispensary and called it Instant Pot and stylized my logo like that of a popular countertop pressure cooker they'd be well within their rights to sue despite being wildly different industries.
You might check out mealime. It's got the same information, only you put in a meal plan and it creates a shopping list. So if 2 recipes call for a half a head of cabbage each it'll have you buy a single cabbage.
Twitter isn't, and shouldn't be under any obligation to respond to you proxying your requests through their url tracker with any service level.
Is it unethical? Yeah. Does it violate the letter of proposed NN laws? No. Does it violate the spirit of proposed NN laws? Also no. Those laws don't cover what happens while a request is inside a parties network, only the traffic that travels in and out of it, of which Twitter was manipulating neither.
Well, I suppose they could deliver a few packets with a couple microseconds of latency when they delivered the HTTP response payload but they would have to literally modify their OS's TCP stack to do so and the entirety of that actual throttling would be literally milliseconds of difference.
