The update goes a step further by restricting access to other users’ “Likes” tabs as well. Previously, you could see a list of posts a user had liked, offering a glimpse into their interests and online activity. However, with the new policy, this information is no longer publicly accessible.
The reasons behind these changes haven’t been explicitly stated by Twitter, but they likely stem from a growing focus on user privacy. By making likes private, users may feel more comfortable engaging with content without the pressure of social validation or public scrutiny. This could potentially lead to more genuine and diverse content interactions.
While some users might miss the ability to see what their friends and followers like, this update could be a positive step towards a more private and personalized Twitter experience.
