X, formerly known as Twitter, was throttling traffic to websites that the social network’s owner Elon Musk publicly dislikes. The platform slowed down the speed it takes when accessing links to a handful of websites, including The New York Times, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads, Reuters and Substack. The platform appears to be reversing the slow access to news sites on Tuesday afternoon.
If you have an issue with Reuters, you have an issue with free press. Motherfucker’s a free speech ablutionist.
the only free speech elon care’s about is his own.
and maybe those idiots that still think his farts are a breeze of fresh air.
If you’re still using Twitter, you’re part of the problem.
Its been a long time I left twitter , moved to mastodon!
Not sure why you’re being downvoted, you’re absolutely right. I stopped using it the day he took over and anyone still using it is helping prop it up.
I see it’s time to dust off these old Net Neutrality bumper stickers.
Well that an illegal trade practice.
“Free speech absolutist”. Right. I intended to write that Musk is a clown, but I like clowns more than him, and I hate clowns.
Seems anti-competitive. If only we had laws against that kind of thing in the US.
Sure!!! When a billionaire DDoSes websites they say it’s legal, but when one hacktivist sends more than 1 request in 10 secods to a bad website, he goes to jail for 20 years!! We do live in a society!,
Did you even read the article?
A DDoS attack has almost the same effect in this case.
