Twitter's battle with Substack intensifies as platform restricts engagement on linked posts.
TL;DR
Twitter has restricted users from liking or retweeting posts that contain links to the newsletter platform Substack, just days after Substack announced its Twitter-like feature called "Notes." The restriction appeared to have started sometime between Thursday evening and Friday morning. Some Twitter users directed their anger over the change at Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Substack founders said they were "disappointed that Twitter has chosen to restrict writers’ ability to share their work."
