Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has officially rolled out a new feature this week that makes users' likes private by default. This change, confirmed by Musk, aims to protect users' privacy and prevent them from being attacked for their preferences. While users will still be able to see their own liked posts, others will not have access to this information. The like counts and other metrics for users' own posts will remain visible under notifications. This feature was previously available only to X's Premium subscribers but is now extended to all users. The move is part of Musk's broader effort to create a safer and more comfortable environment for engagement on the platform, which he described as an 'important change.'
Your likes are now hidden from everyone except us.
