Elon Musk's X will soon remove public likes

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, is preparing for yet another change under its owner Elon Musk that seemingly no user has asked for.

According to X's Director of Engineering Haofei Wang, Musk's social media platform is preparing to remove public "likes" from users' profile page. This means that X users will no longer be able to browse what posts other users have liked.

"Yeah, we are making likes private," Wang said on X in response to a post by MacRumors researcher Aaron Perris.
