AllSides Media Bias Rating: Left
Twitter's continually escalating feud with Substack appears to be going strong as users found out this weekend that searches for the blogging site are being redirected to "newsletter" instead.
This appears to be another attempt by the Elon Musk-owned social media site to keep users away from Substack, as the former appears to be going to war with the newsletter platform. The recent decision by Twitter to redirect searches for "Substack" to "newsletter" has sparked controversy and raised concerns about free speech.
