There’s an “extra context” box in the link you posted that explains why the author’s version of events is nonsense, but you still repeated it anyway…Sonic1 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 11:18 amCouple interesting tidbits concerning Twitter, Google and Meta.

The rest of the Tweet: Google punished Musk and Twitter by removing the vast majority of Twitter’s links from its search results — a move that will make Twitter virtually invisible on the world’s largest and most popular search engine.
Analysts just revealed that Google has already removed a whopping 52% of Twitter’s links in only two days — and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
One industry analyst even declared that, “it seems like Tweets are falling out of the sky” on Google.
Reporters are speculating that the reason for Google’s harsh retaliation against Twitter is probably related to the fact that Musk recklessly decided not to pay its Google Cloud Services bill last month — a move that puts Twitter’s future in even further peril.

I intentionally left the "readers add context" in as It is reader opinion from the very site he owns. While you might seem to think those Musk loving chuds have the final say, I and many others would disagree. Site traffic from google is down significantly since he stopped paying his cloud bills. Fact. Here's another fact for any Elon cimp to chew on. Musk has recently opined that only those making babies should have the right to vote.nerdlinger wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 12:58 pmThere’s an “extra context” box in the link you posted that explains why the author’s version of events is nonsense, but you still repeated it anyway…Sonic1 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 11:18 amCouple interesting tidbits concerning Twitter, Google and Meta.

“Opinion”? I’m not defending Musk at all, but it’s very well established from the year dot that Google only indexes sites that it has access to. When Twitter put up a read limit Google stopped being able to index it, simple as that.
The author of that tweet is trying to characterise it as some sort of aggressive power play on Google’s part, when there’s no reason to believe any such thing happened.

You are 100% right. Apologies. Thanks for adding context to your previous comment as I am ever leery of "reader opinion" on that site. Did some digging and found that Twitter had resumed it's cloud payments soon after it was publicly announced they had missed their June payment. Here's some further context regarding the validity of the original assertations: " "Analysts just revealed that Google has already removed a whopping 52% of Twitter's links in only two days — and it's showing no signs of slowing down."nerdlinger wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 5:49 pm“Opinion”?

The Facts
Twitter users reported outages Saturday morning into the afternoon, according to DownDetector.com as changes were made. Reports began increasing around 8 a.m. ET and at roughly 11 a.m. ET. Many users received an error message reading "rate limit exceeded," referring to the number of tweets that can be viewed.
Musk initially announced the limitations as being lower before amending those numbers. He first said that unverified accounts would be limited to 600, new unverified accounts to 300, and verified users to 6,000 tweets per day.
Although LeGate and Rivero did not include a link to a verified statement about the effect this may have had at Google, the search engine giant has stated that it has seen an effect in its ability to crawl for tweets, hinting the reason was linked to recent changes at Twitter.
In a statement to The Verge, Google spokesperson Lara Levin said: "We're aware that our ability to crawl Twitter.com has been limited, affecting our ability to display tweets and pages from the site in search results,
"Websites have control over whether crawlers can access their content."
Levin confirmed to Newsweek that Google had not taken any action to remove tweets.
