Summary

Replaces stale twittercommunity.com, blog.twitter.com, and developer.x.com/docs/twitter-for-websites/... hyperlinks with their current X equivalents. These were surfaced during a strategic deal review of the Developer Policy page; the same link families were then fixed everywhere else in the repo. No remaining occurrences of these link families.

Changes

developer-terms/policy.mdx (5 links, per the approved side-by-side table)

Verification

  • Each external replacement URL was loaded in a browser and returns the expected page (devcommunity.x.com topics, blog.x.com 2018 post, help.x.com "X for Websites", x.com/en/privacy). The 2017 blog.x.com post was confirmed to exist via search; automated loads hit a Cloudflare challenge, so a manual click is worth a quick check.
  • Ran mintlify dev locally and read the rendered href of every changed link on all four pages; internal /x-for-websites/... targets render ("Embedded Posts", "Embedded Timelines").
  • grep confirms no remaining twittercommunity.com, blog.twitter.com, or developer.x.com/docs/twitter-for-websites links in the repo.

Update stale twittercommunity.com, blog.twitter.com, and
developer.x.com/docs/twitter-for-websites links to their current
X equivalents (devcommunity.x.com, blog.x.com, help.x.com,
x.com/en/privacy, and in-repo x-for-websites pages).

Pages: developer policy (5 links), restricted use cases (3),
developer agreement (2), changelog (1).
