this week Elon Musk’s X began changing users’ tweets in the X app for iOS without their permission

if a user posted “Twitter .com” then it would automatically appear as “X .com”

even worse, other URLs are getting caught in this and being changed too

X promoted a trending story on Thursday via its homepage with the headline:
“Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles”

X quietly updated it, saying it only applies "where required by local laws" after right wing users complained to Elon Musk https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-changes-anti-trans-harassment-policy
