Elon Musk’s sudden decision – How he “fences” Twitter from competing social media

“Twitter no longer allows free promotion of certain social media on twitter,” the announcement reads

A new, sudden decision Elon Musk’s tweet is likely to change the social media landscape.

The tycoon “fences” Twitter, as its users will no longer be allowed to post links to the platform from several competing social media outlets, billionaire Elon Musk’s platform announced Sunday, sparking fresh concerns after suspending journalists’ accounts.

“Twitter no longer allows the free promotion of certain social media on twitter,” the statement said, noting that the decision affects Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Post and Nostr, as well as “links to social media aggregators such as linktr. ee, lnk.bio’.

Users who violate this policy risk temporary account suspension, the company’s support team said.

The policy change follows other chaotic actions on Twitter since Musk bought the social network, and strong backlash is expected, both from those potentially affected and from regulators.
