Twitter quietly backtracks on requiring users to log in to see individual tweets, ending Elon Musk's “temporary emergency measure”; profiles remain blocked

The platform is becoming slightly more usable just as Meta opens up its Twitter competitor.

    Another log on the “It's incompetence, not sabotage” fire: along the same lines as asking why Elon wouldn't simply shut it down instead of torching his reputation, why does he keep implementing damaging policies and then reversing them? …
