Musk polls Twitter on whether he should go after botched link sharing policy
Twitter tried to ban sharing links to other social networks and it went down incredibly poorly.
This change prevented sharing links to other social networks including Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr, and Post. Essentially, users would no longer be allowed to share their links to these websites in their bio and accounts that solely promoted pages on other social networks would be instantly banned. While Musk clarified that the occasional tweet with a link would be okay, the policy highlights a misunderstanding of Twitter’s place in the digital ecosystem.
As you might expect this policy didn’t last long and it has since seemingly been walked back entirely. TheHowever, that isn’t all. . This policy was updated following Musk’s child allegedly being accosted by a “crazy stalker”. The ban included the ElonJet account which Musk had previously promised he wouldn’t ban.
