CTOnews.com, December 19 (Xinhua)-- Twitter said on Sunday that it will delete accounts created only to promote other social platforms and content that contains links or user names to other social platforms.

Twitter supporters said in a tweet that the move would affect the content of Meta Platforms's social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post. Twitter says it still allows cross-posting of content from any social media platform, and other social platforms are not affected.

Musk said, "it's okay to share links once in a while, but it's ridiculous to stop advertising for competitors for free."

And former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who recently invested in social media platform Nostr, responded to Twitter's post in one word: "Why?" . In response to another user's post about the ban on Nostr promotion, Dorsey said it was "unreasonable."

Last week, Twitter disbanded its Trust and Security Committee, a volunteer group set up in 2016 to advise on site decisions on social media platforms.

CTOnews.com has learned that since Elon Musk, who is also chief executive of Tesla, bought Twitter, he has laid off many senior managers and about half of his employees, while wavering over fees for Twitter Blue, Twitter's subscription service.

Musk also banned the accounts of several journalists for publishing his flight data. Mr. Musk restored the accounts on Friday after criticism from government officials, advocacy groups and news organizations in several parts of the world, with some saying the social media platform was endangering press freedom.
