Google has reportedly removed much of Twitter’s links from its search results after the social network’s owner Elon Musk announced reading tweets would be limited.

Search Engine Roundtable found that Google had removed 52% of Twitter links since the crackdown began last week. Twitter now blocks users who are not logged in and sets limits on reading tweets.

According to Barry Schwartz, Google reported 471 million Twitter URLs as of Friday. But by Monday morning, that number had plummeted to 227 million.

“For normal indexing of these Twitter URLs, it seems like these tweets are dropping out of the sky,” Schwartz wrote.

Platformer reported last month that Twitter refused to pay its bill for Google Cloud services.

    People with power shouldn’t be allowed any control over platforms that give power to “the people”. I believe this is all intentional. If it was just Twitter, or just Reddit, or just 1 TV network, I wouldn’t think that but they’re sabotaging all the mainstream platforms at once and making it incredibly obvious. They’re trying to collapse our means of communication ahead of 2024.

      There’s no way to prove or disprove this idea

        Is that a Jimmy Hoffa quote? It’s not even true. If recordings popped up of them saying the quite part out loud, wouldn’t that be proof? There’s no hard evidence for a lot of ideas that are clearly true and should influence peoples decisions going forward. If we didn’t do that, we’d all be dead at the hands of people that think that line absolves them from any accountability from anyone. Terrible people aren’t dumb, they know what they shouldn’t say out loud, and they know what to say when their actions expose the truth, doesn’t mean we all have to keep them in our lives until they’re proven shitty in a court of law, that’s how domestic murder victims get made.
