Twitter removes suicide prevention feature at Musk's request -- [UPDATED: it's back, with Musk claiming 'fake news']
Twitter has, without making an announcement, removed a feature that directed users towards suicide prevention services after searching for certain content.
The #ThereIsHelp feature was removed after Elon Musk issued an order to that effect. Sources familiar with the matter say that the removal is only temporary and that a revamped version will be launched in the future. But the social platform has been criticized not only for the timing -- Christmas is a tough time for many people -- but also for removing the existing support feature before having a replacement ready. [UPDATE -- the feature is now back. Despite the fact Twitter confirmed its removal, Musk used a series of tweets to denounce reports that it had temporarily been removed as 'fake news']
