X,yuliet torres sex video formerly Twitter, will officially start hiding public "likes" on posts, as soon as today.
The news comes from a source at the company, as reported by the Verge. A few weeks ago, reports emerged that the change (that no one asked for) would be implemented soon.
X's director of engineering Haofei Wang confirmed the news on X back then, saying in a post, "Public likes are incentivizing the wrong behavior. For example, many people feel discouraged from liking content that might be 'edgy' in fear of retaliation from trolls, or to protect their public image."
