X Confirms Plan to Make 'Likes' Private, Remove Likes Tab From Profiles - feddit.nl

I’m not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.

This is making the list of posts you’ve “Liked” private. Saved you a click.

Personally I’d like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don’t understand the why behind it.

People might not want to make it obvious that they support Nazi shit. This will make it easier for them to do so covertly.
My guess is that its to cover up patterns of this to protect specific rich guys from lawsuits. As a bonus it means its easier to add and subtract likes from posts without leaving clear evidence.
