Twitter's Substack feud leads to journalist's departure

Journalist Matt Taibbi, known for his "Twitter Files" reports, is leaving Twitter after the platform barred Substack users from sharing Twitter links. Taibbi had agreed to release his reporting live via lengthy Twitter threads, but also posted his reports on Substack. After Substack announced Notes, a new competitive feature that allows short-form posts similar to a tweet, Twitter retaliated by barring the ability to share links or even embed tweets in Substack posts. Taibbi explained why he was leaving Twitter and wrote that Musk’s platform sees Substack Notes as “a hostile rival.”
