Twitter Erases & Seemingly Reverses Decision on Banning 'Free Promotion' of Other Social Media Platforms

More changes have come to Twitter.

According to one tweet, the company has deleted mentions of the policy altogether on the Twitter website, and seemingly reversed the decision about it.

The support page is no longer accessible.

“We will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter,” the official Twitter Support account wrote earlier today. “Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.”

The policy added that Twitter would “still allow cross-posting content from any social media platform. Posting links or usernames to social media platforms not listed above are also not in violation of this policy.”

In addition to the policy being wiped from Twitter’s website, current CEO Elon Musk has put up a poll on if he should keep running the company at all.

“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll,” he wrote along with it, before adding in a subsequent tweet, “Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it.”

Just recently, Twitter suspended a handful of journalists who had been covering Elon‘s takeover of the platform.
