Twitter announces it would no longer allow users to promote their accounts on several rival social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram
Twitter had announced that the company would"no longer allow free promotion of specific social media platforms."
The sudden shift in the rules was the latest in a series of controversial changes made by Musk since he took over the company in October -- upheaval that has led a growing number of users to encourage followers to view their posts on other sites."Should I step down as head of Twitter?" he tweeted, asking the site's users to click yes or no.
Users would thus be barred, for example, from posting "Follow me @username on Instagram," Twitter said.After some notable accounts were suspended under the new policy, including tech investor Paul Graham, Musk tweeted that instead of considering individual tweets, the policy would be limited to "suspending accounts only when that account’s *primary* purpose is promotion of competitors.
Shortly after taking over the platform, he announced the site would charge $8 per month to verify account holders' identities, but had to suspend the "Twitter Blue" plan after an embarrassing rash of fake accounts. It has since been relaunched.
