Elon Musk’s Twitter/X has been accused of suppressing links to the New York Times’s website on the platform, according to a new report. | Data from NewsWhip reported by Semafor suggests Twitter may be restricting access to the NY Times, an outlet repeatedly called out by Musk as “propaganda.” ● Citing NewsWhip data, Semafor reports that there has been a substantial decline in engagement with posts containing links to the NYT. The claimed decline on Twitter/X started in late July, according to the report. The fall in shares and other forms of engagement on posts on Musk’s platform is sudden, data from NewsWhip on 300,000 influential X users shows. The drop does not mirror trends from links to other corporate media outlets such as CNN, The Washington Post, and the BBC. Musk has previously criticized the NY Times for both its coverage and the content it posts on his platform.
