"Not sure he can get away with this in the U.S. under the current FTC," noted one journalist,"but I suspect this is wildly illegal in the E.U."Elon Musk's Twitter announced Sunday that users are no longer allowed to post links to some of the social media platform's competitors, including Facebook, Mastodon, Instagram, and Post, a move likely to draw the notice of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and European Union officials.
"Accounts that are used for the main purpose of promoting content on another social platform may be suspended," Twitter said."Additionally, any attempts to bypass restrictions on external links to the above prohibited social media platforms through technical or non-technical means is in violation of this policy."
One exception to the ban, the company noted, is"paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms."
