JAKARTA - Twitter on Sunday, December 18 said it would remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content containing links or usernames.

According to a Twitter support account in a tweet, the move will affect content from social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram from Meta Platforms, as well as Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr, and Post, while allowing cross-submission of content.

Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who recently invested in social media platform Nostr, replied to a Twitter support post with one word: "Why?". In a reply to another user's post about the ban on Nostr's promotion, Dorsey said, "absurd".

Short video platform TikTok, which is owned by China's ByteDance Ltd, was not included in the list.

Last week, Twitter dissolved its Trust and Safety Council, a volunteer group formed in 2016 to advise the social media platform on the site's decisions.

The policy change follows another chaotic move on Twitter since Elon Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla, bought the social network. He fired top management and laid off about half of his workforce, while looking at how much it would cost to subscribe to Twitter Blue's Twitter service.

Musk also suspended the accounts of several journalists over the controversy over the publication of public data about the billionaire's plane.

But Musk reinstated the account after criticism from government officials, advocacy groups, and journalism organizations from several parts of the world on Friday, with some saying the microblogging platform endangered press freedom.
