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.

I am genuinely curious. What’s the role of the new CEO if this turd keeps doing everything he can to burn this ish to the ground?

She straight up admitted that she was essentially a sock puppet CEO and would offer no friction to anything Musk wanted.

Musk is a manchild who can’t handle being told “no”, so that’s a given.

But it’s smart of her to put that out in advance. It informs Musk that she will stay out of his way, and she doesn’t have to take the blame for idiotic decisions made by him.

He’s the child of an emerald mine owner. Do people think that men like that choose wives based on how good a mother they’ll be? Doubt.

Ever heard of the glass cliff? You might even see a name or two on that list that you recognize.

Someone needs to make this Musk’s official title. Chief-Fuck-Upper. I also heard Chief-Twit circling around.

Can we perhaps add a list of notable titles to his Wikipedia entry?

Chief twit was something he called himself, for all that says

“CFU of Twitter” does have a nice ring to it

Then Spez could be CFU of Reddit. I kinda miss Ellen Pao. And Chooter.

Edit: A word.

Lol

Both Musk and Huffman seem to think the E in CEO stands for “Enshittification.”
