Something odd is happening when you try and search Twitter for Threads links
www.theverge.com

A search for Threads content on Twitter currently brings up zero results, despite plenty of links to Meta’s microblogging rival being posted on the platform.

    I’m not American, does your country consider this anti-competitive behavior?

      You don’t have to be American, if twitter works in your country, then it should at least on your country follow your rules or they could be blocked by your ISP

        That’s not what I am asking. Are there anti-monopoly laws in the United States that would prevent Twitter from blocking links to their competitor?

          Twitter’s not anywhere near being a monopoly in any market though.

      Generally speaking, anti-competition laws here are focused on abusing a monopoly, and Twitter very much is not a monopoly, especially given the extremely successful emergence of a strong competitor.
