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.
Is it just me, or is Elon looking more and more like a movie villain as time goes by?
I keep seeing it used for media articles because it’s fucking perfect and accurately displays his disdain for the poors. The fact that anyone with less than a billion dollars in net value thinks he cares about them is both baffling and hilarious.
Correction: his disdain for everyone who isn’t himself. He doesn’t even treat his own kids well. His trans daughter changed her name to not be associated with him.
But he’ll gladly suck some Saudi dick if it marginally increases his net value.
Side note; I’m so glad that one of his daughters is trans because it helped expose him for the absolute fucking bigot he is. I stopped being a fanboy after the whole ‘pedo guy’ incident, and it’s been nice to have people finally come to the same realisation I’ve had and apologise for trying to defend him back then.
Except for Bill Gates.
It’s one of media’s best tools for passive-aggressively shaming someone they don’t like. So more than anything his appearance over time is an effect of media turning on him.
Well, I won’t be shedding any tears for him. He is an asshole.
