Twitter's Substack Link Restrictions Spark Controversy.
TL;DR Summary
Twitter has restricted retweets, replies, and likes on tweets containing links to Substack.com, which started less than 48 hours after Substack announced its new product called Notes that will compete directly with Twitter. Twitter also appears to have started blocking tweet-embedding in Substack posts. This is not the first time Twitter has restricted the reach of rivals on its platform. Substack has yet to respond to an email seeking comment.
