On Tuesday afternoon, hours after this story was first published, X began reversing the throttling on some of the sites, dropping the delay times back to zero. It was unknown if all the throttled websites had normal service restored.

Who there didn't see that coming? They thought nobody was gonna notice 5s delays on NYT links?

That new CEO must be locked in a cage somewhere at this point because she is definitely not calling the shots on this, or "X", or any of the other nonsense that's still been occurring because only one billionaire egomaniac is capable of this absolute fucking trainwreck.
