Business mogul Elon Musk has confirmed that the X platform will hide “likes” from public view to protect user privacy and protect free speech.
According to The Verge, the change will be rolled out from Tuesday:
X is rolling out private likes as soon as today, according to a source at the company. That means what users like on the platform will be hidden by default, which is already an option for X’s Premium subscribers.
Important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so! https://t.co/3O1bG7wIGe
