Twitter/X is now removing headlines from links and Threads/Meta is prohibiting searches of public health terms like Covid and vaccines. Billionaires are dangerously restricting people’s access to news.

Also, don't use Twitter for the source of medical information. I think there are still other websites.

I'm confused. Does Twitter have a connection to news?

I had joined threads before I received an invite here. Guess I’ll dump threads.

Exactly. I hope news/journalists/gov come here because Threads certainly isn't the new town square. I worked disaster assistance on Twitter. Gov needs to leave X for a fact friendly site and Threads isn't it.
