On Monday, it appears X attempted to encourage users to cease referring to it as Twitter and instead adopt the name X. Some users began noticing that posts viewed via X for iOS were changing any references of “Twitter.com” to “X.com” automatically.
If a user typed in “Twitter.com,” they would see “Twitter.com” as they typed it before hitting “Post.” But, after submitting, the platform would show “X.com” in its place on the X for iOS app, without the user’s permission, for everyone viewing the post.
And shortly after this revelation, it became clear that there was another big issue: X was changing anything ending in “Twitter.com” to “X.com.”
I’m still going to call it Twitter.
X sounds like a porn site of some kind. Fun fact, the government in India thought the same thing and banned it for that reason…for awhile.
Apparently it’s not a well known story, so I’ll remind everyone that India’s government banned many different porn sites within their own country’s internet access.
I don’t know if it’s at the DNS level or the actual IP address or what, but they banned almost every free porn site I’ve ever heard of, even more obscure ones like Jizzhut and alphaporno, even really really low budget ones that are just an index for a bunch of embedded videos from other sites
I don’t know dude, some of those sites are unbanned.
Besides, you can get around the ban by using cloudflare warp
or a VPN like proton or mullvad
those cost money, cloudflare warp is free and it doesn’t really matter just for porn
Cloudflare is almost as bad as google. You shouldn’t use it.
Ha, just like people gave you side-eye for mentioning ‘hotmail’ back in the 90s. “Hotmail, eh? Why do you need a raunchy e-mail address?”
I do agree that X is a stupid name.
It’s a great name for a porn site
