#twitter is treating links to #mastodon as #malware. Now prevents users from adding them to their bio or profile.
...and I thought I'd recently heard big words about "freedom of speech" wrt to that platform. 🍿
For documentation: that's what I had in my URL field and was considered "malware", hence prevented the bio update.
@rainhard I'm wondering when they'll take action against accounts who linked their profile prior to the filtering of instance domains.
@wally3k Same. I have that link in my twttr profile for a while already. For now it just prevents me from making any twttr bio or profile updates due to that "malware" claim.
@rainhard @wally3k the link in my profile is to Infosec.exchange. If I try to edit my profile, I am unable to save it because it says the link is malware.
@jerry @wally3k Any idea if that's for specific Mastodon instances? Or did twttr really just ban new links to _all_ Mastodon?

@rainhard @jerry The GetMastodon Tw account got banned, and I've seen people from other instances complain about the same issue.

I assume Tw has just gone "Top 100 fedi instances, cool, they're malicious now"

@wally3k @rainhard that’s a reasonable explanation
