This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"Google decimates Twitter search results" makes it sound like it's something Google did intentionally, rather than a simple refresh of Google's cache, now that they can't spider their way through Twitter's network.
In other words, it's Twitter that did this, not Google.

Fine by me. I never saw any value in it, even well before Musk took over. The character limit is guaranteed to eliminate any nuance, and the interface makes it incredibly difficult to follow what discussion there is.
I think originally when Twitter was created, the idea was that it would also be accessible via SMS and so the limit was imposed in order to allow a a tweet to fit into one SMS message.
We’ve had Twitter since SMS cost per-message on most plans.
a part of me wants this to get worse so that people finally realize elon is insane once and for all
I'm enjoying watching Twitter go up in flames in real time. 🍿
Musky is probably wondering how to charge search engines indexing his site for free
