X, formerly known as Twitter, was throttling traffic to websites that the social network’s owner Elon Musk publicly dislikes. The platform slowed down the speed it takes when accessing links to a handful of websites, including The New York Times, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads, Reuters and Substack. The platform appears to be reversing the slow access to news sites on Tuesday afternoon.

Sure!!!! When a billionaire DDoSes websites they say it's legal, but when one hacktivist sends more than 1 request in 10 secods to a bad website, he goes to jail for 20 years!! We do live in a society!,
