X, formerly Twitter, slows down access to Threads, The New York Times, Bluesky and more

X, formerly known as Twitter, is throttling traffic to websites that the social network’s owner Elon Musk publicly dislikes. The platform is slowing down the speed it takes when accessing links to a handful of websites including The New York Times, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, Threads, Reuters and Substack.
All of these websites have been publicly attacked by Musk in the past. When clicking on links to these websites on X, there is a five second delay in loading the web pages. The delays were noticed by users on the Hacker News forum, and first reported by The Washington Post.
