- X (formerly known as Twitter) is making likes mostly private for everyone on its platform. This means that users will still be able to like posts, but the number of likes will not be visible to other users. The company says this change is aimed at improving the overall user experience and reducing social pressure.

- The decision to make likes private is part of X's broader efforts to address issues like harassment, misinformation, and the negative impact of social media on mental health. By hiding the like count, the platform hopes to encourage users to focus more on the content itself rather than the social validation of likes.

- While some users may be disappointed by the change, X believes that making likes private will create a healthier and more authentic social media environment. The company is also exploring other features, such as the ability to hide your follower count, to further empower users and reduce the emphasis on metrics and social comparison.
