X, formerly Twitter, slowed down access to Threads, The New York Times, Bluesky and more
X (formerly known as Twitter) throttling traffic to websites disliked by Elon Musk.
Key points:
- X slowed down access to websites including The New York Times, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads, Reuters, and Substack.
- These websites have been publicly attacked by Musk in the past.
- The delays potentially affected the traffic and ad revenue of these companies.
Hint on Elon Musk: Musk has previously blocked links to competitors, called the New York Times "propaganda," and took away their verification check mark. He has also feuded with Mark Zuckerberg and threatened a cage fight.
