Doc Rivers can like his non porn in peace now.

Social platform X decides to hide 'likes' after updating policy to allow porn

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, is hiding the posts that users 'like', the engineering team said, in the latest policy update.

X, the platform formerly known Twitter, is making some changes that will make the posts that users "like" harder to see.

X's engineering team released a statement Tuesday that said "Likes" will be private for all users.

The move was made to "better protect" users' privacy, the engineering team's statement said.

Among the changes users may experience, according to X:

• You can still see posts you have liked, though others cannot.
• Like count and other metrics for your own posts will still show up under notifications.
• A post's author can see who liked its posts.

That’s actually a huge and needed change. Groupthink from visible validation tokens is dumbing down everything

That's how it should've been from jump. Give me the option to make it public. That's just like that dumbass timeline on IG where you could see each and every action of the ppl you followed.

I don't agree with the policy, but I don't really care either. I mostly just use Twitter because it's the quickest way to get information and reference things with timestamps and whatnot.

He's getting a lot of right-wing people on there. So us being able to see what they liked, would probably affect their reelection chances.

I thought it was because he liked a “milk your tiny penis pervert” post

Would have been huge news in my scumbaggery days but now that I’m delivered I could care less

good.

the culture of toxic validation fueled by social media “likes” is easily one of the most harmful things to visit modern society in the past two decades.

i know this isn’t removing how many likes your content receives, but it’s a start.

also, let’s not act as if employers aren’t targeting employees who like politically unfavorable (read: progressive) content.
