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.

People who aren't going to do anything either way like to blame XR's protests for their own inaction.

I've thought long and hard about why we fail to make change and I've thought about whats best and most reasonable within my own personality, skills and weaknesses. For me, I need to refine my views and then spread awareness, while also reducing our wasted efforts because of false consciousness. Do you want to suddenly become aware that you wasted years of your life to a false idea or would you rather some annoying rando accuse you of having in a false idea, then think about it honestly and reject the false idea years earlier?

As an example. Lots of people fell victim to what you suggest.. nazi philosophy was painted as "we have the cure! just blindly follow our legit seeming propaganda" and then people acted instead of thinking.. you know what happened after. People like me were trying to deprogram nazis but then we had to run or got holocausted. Also, do you notice how National socialism has a strange... misdirection that doesn't line up with its stated name? MEGAHINT HINT. also tankies cough cough

What do you think is wrong with conservatives? They work hard for the values they haven't investigated

You are absolutely right about us needing to take action, i just worry the average person will be super counterproductive with all the noise intended to misguide us.
