dvdnet62X Confirms Plan to Make 'Likes' Private, Remove Likes Tab From Profiles
JustARegularNerdI’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.
The reason is probably that too many people got caught liking questionable content through the likes page.
It also makes it nearly impossible for independent researchers to uncover bot networks and AstroTurfing, just in time for fully automated AI propaganda.
