Why is Twitter blocking Substack links?

Twitter has started marking links to Substack as unsafe.

You can still tweet out Substack links, but that is where engagement ends.

Tweets with an outgoing link to Substack cannot be retweeted, replied to or even liked.

Elon Musk refuted reports that the website was obstructing Substack links.

Musk’s assertion that Substack was getting Twitter data beyond the parameters of its API database was denied by Substack co-founder Chris Best.

The creators of Substack expressed their disappointment with Twitter’s decision to limit writers’ ability to share their work.

This sudden shift serves as a reminder of the need for a paradigm that puts writers in control, compensates for excellent work, and safeguards free speech and the press.

These limitations, however, were later lifted.
