Yeah, there's no reason to believe that the Telegraph would have the exclusive scoop on this. Even in the few sentences shown in the paywall preview, it's clear how thin the sourcing is:
> Founder Jack Dorsey last week admitted at a Twitter event that he was not a fan of the heart-shaped button and that it would be getting rid of it “soon”.
That's the only news or "fact" in the lede -- the content that immediately follows is boilerplate:
> The feature was introduced in 2015 to replace “favourites”, a star-shaped button that allowed people to bookmark tweets to read later. Similar buttons to “like” or show appreciation of people’s status updates, pictures and videos have become a central function of every popular social media service since Facebook introduced them.
> But psychologists have suggested that they may be causing social media addiction.
