X, formerly known as Twitter, is throttling traffic to Facebook, NY Times after Musk criticism: report

[Conservative from Georgia]

Mr. Freedom of Speech continues to be even worse than the previous Twitter owner when it comes to Freedom of Speech. Now if an outlet dares criticize Musk they will have traffic to their sites slowed down by Musk:

"
X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has been slowing the speeds with which users can access links to rivals and news sites that have come under criticism from owner Elon Musk, according to a report.


Users who click into links to stories from the New York Times, Facebook, and other news outlets and competitors were forced to wait around five seconds before the page appeared, according to an analysis conducted by The Washington Post.


Links that lead to pages hosted by Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, Substack, and Reuters were also throttled, according to the report.


The delay was felt by users who clinked into the t.co domain, which is a link-shortening service that X uses."

Jikky was sensing the coming Twitter fascism several months ago. Even non-Twitter users are susceptible to Musk's violence, because they can no longer browse Twitter freely, post Twitter content elsewhere. Twitter prisoner-members have been silenced to the outside, non-member world. What one sees now are not current posts but a chimera:

Does anyone, even for a moment, consider the OP to be a “conservative” just based on his self-chosen username? He is a lot like rightwinger in that regard.

Right out of the box, they are dishonest.

Nice quip. Quite illogical. But amusing all the same.

Looks like a technical glitch from t.co domain only...

From the OPs link...

"By late Tuesday afternoon, X appeared to have eliminated the delay. When contacted for comment by Reuters, X confirmed the delay was removed but did not elaborate."

Who wants to connect to the NYT paywall?

It's a waste of more than 5 seconds.

 

[petro]

Ooohhh.
Five seconds.

The whining of a generation that wasn't forced to use dial up is falling on deaf ears.

If both disappeared society would benefit.

 

[petro]

Musk's violence

Hyperbole much?



So, Zuckerberg is gonna get his ass kicked.

 

[BackAgain]

If both disappeared society would benefit.

But that’s different than claiming that either one losing benefits all of society.

Evidently, you meant both losing.

That’s a different discussion.
