What has Twitter done exactly?

paulg@ is claiming that Twitter no longer allows you to like or retweet any tweets that link to Substack, like this one: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1644344779507916805 https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1644344779507916805 (note that this tweet indeed has zero of both, unlikely virtually everything else paulg has ever posted) And I'm not even seeing the tweet in the OP's link, I had to dig it up from paulg's Twitter feed.

  I tried to like and retweet Paul's tweet which included a link to Substack and indeed I can confirm I cannot like or retweet it. It says "Some actions on this Tweet have been disabled by Twitter."

  Good grief .. I went to that tweet and clicked the substack link to reach the essentially text only article. Twitter inserted a giant scary WARNING!! page with a tiny continue (if you're really sure you can handle the risk) link Warning: this link may be unsafe https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/most-technologies-arent-races The link you are trying to access has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially spammy or unsafe, in accordance with Twitter’s URL Policy. This link could fall into any of the below categories: * malicious links that could steal personal information or harm electronic devices * etc.

You can't retweet anything with a substack URL in it, see this HN thread for more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35482222 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35482222

You can't reply to, or retweet, or like, or bookmark any tweet that has a Substack link in it because Musk wants Twitter's newsletter thingy to take off instead.
