Twitter doesn't own content generated by users, the only legal hurdle would be complying with takedown requests.

who owns the content generated by the users? what if i as a user give twitter sole rights to my content
It’s owned by the person who created it with a non exclusive licence granted to X.
then they would be legally viable for the content on the website, the only reason why youtube, twitter can exist is because they do not own the user content for exactly this reason.

If you mean 'takedown requests' related to X content that should not be a problem since nitter does not cache content so anything taken down by X is inaccessible to nitter. If you mean takedown requests for nitter instances the question is on what grounds those requests are made - TOS violations or legal grounds? If it is the former it would be easy for X to just block the user IDs and no takedown request is needed. If it is the latter, which laws would those be based on?
