Elon Musk Confirms X to Hide Likes Starting Today, Citing Importance
Jun 11, 2024, 08:02 PM
Elon Musk has confirmed that X will begin hiding likes on posts starting this week. The change, which is expected to roll out as soon as today, means users' likes will be hidden by default. This feature, already available to X’s Premium subscribers, aims to protect users' privacy and prevent them from being attacked for their likes. Users will still be able to see posts they have liked, but others will not. Like counts and other metrics for users' own posts will still be visible under notifications, but users will no longer see who liked someone else’s post. The Verge reported that Elon Musk emphasized it is important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so.
