JAKARTA – Apparently X users need extra patience if they want to access other sites like Threads, Instagram, Facebook and others.
The reason is that according to The Verge, Sunday (9/17/2023), Elon Musk is trying to block access to other platforms via links shared on X.
“According to The Markup’s observations, X users have to wait two and a half seconds to move to another platform via a link,” The Verge wrote.
In detail, X users will always be directed to the link shortener, t.co, every time they press a link available on X.
Typically, for sites that are not X’s competitors, it only takes 30 to 40 milliseconds. It’s just that everything is different when the available links belong to the Meta, Bluesky and Substack platforms.
Note that this is not the first time that X has hindered access to competing platforms.
In August 2023, The Washington Post revealed that X had suspended access to social media sites and news outlets that openly and frequently criticize Elon Musk.
Several domains affected by this policy were notified by the New York Times and Reuters. At the time, users had to wait five seconds to be redirected.
