Analysis | Musk admits X throttles links as ‘news influencers’ take over Hard times for the humble hyperlink and those who depend on it.

Musk admitted X throttles links, and Threads is only a little better. But social media's quiet war on links has been going on for years. I wrote about how big tech has been draining the open web's lifeblood and giving us "news influencers" instead of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I'm curious. During the campaign, fact-checkers routinely dinged the Harris campaign for calling Project 2025 Trump's playbook, saying "Trump has denied this."

Have any of them admitted how badly they got rolled in the most obvious of ways?
