JAKARTA - After blocking access to third-party sites, X Twitter's rebranding platform has now partially removed images and links on Tweets posted before December 2014.

First reported by user X, Tom Coates last week, who showed Oscar host Ellen Degeneres uploading a selfie from the event, but the photo disappeared from her account.

"By the way, in 2014 Ellen Degeneres posted a selfie from Oscar and became the most retweeted photo of all time. The photo is now missing from Twitter," tweeted Tom Coates.

The old post was also accompanied by attached images or hyperlinks that were changed through an X-Based Unform Resource Locater (URL), t.co.

Apparently, this change affected Tweets posted before December 2014. Compiled from The Verge, Monday, August 21, one of the online media journalists also stated that the link to his YouTube now is only in the form of text with the t.co URL that is not working.

Neither X owner Elon Musk nor X CEO Linda Yaccarino responded to the matter, but soon the image in the post was restored.
