Google has reportedly removed much of Twitter's links from its search results after the social network's owner Elon Musk announced reading tweets would be limited.

Search Engine Roundtable found that Google had removed 52% of Twitter links since the crackdown began last week. Twitter now blocks users who are not logged in and sets limits on reading tweets.

According to Barry Schwartz, Google reported 471 million Twitter URLs as of Friday. But by Monday morning, that number had plummeted to 227 million.

"For normal indexing of these Twitter URLs, it seems like these tweets are dropping out of the sky," Schwartz wrote.

Platformer reported last month that Twitter refused to pay its bill for Google Cloud services.

So when you do a write off you still are responsible for that money. It's not declaring bankruptcy, it's just lowering your taxable income due to loss. So "write-off" doesn't really make much sense in this context.

Maybe not the correct 'legal' term. But it's splitting hairs really.

He wants rid of his serious burden. And imagine he thinks that he can do that if he kills the platform. Instead of being on the hook for 44billion with the repayments and interest attributed to that every month, he can cut that down to a fraction.

I'm not saying I have any idea how it works, or even if it's possible. Mainly that I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
