Platform X officially with a big change. For everyone

What the X platform has been announcing for some time has now become a fact. Likes on the platform have become private.

Thanks to the X platform showed what its users “liked” and sometimes it harmed the opinion of politicians or public figures. However, nothing happened without a reason. This only happened in cases where they were caught liking distasteful or inappropriate tweets.

According to X's boss, Musk, this is a much-needed change, thanks to which people will be able to like whatever they want without “feeling attacked”.

The company originally introduced the ability to hide the Likes tab in a paid X Premium subscription.

This week we're making Likes private for everyone to better protect your privacy.

The latest tweet says that the social media platform will make likes private to all users this week. This means that the user will no longer see who liked someone else's post. We will see whether scandals and PR crises of public figures will actually end because of this.

However, you will still be able to see who liked our tweets, the number of likes and other indicators will still be displayed regarding our posts.

When the likes function became private for everyone, there was no more reason to buy the X Premium version.
