Mediaite reports:

Social media platform X slapped a “warning” on links to NPR’s follow-up reporting on the Trump campaign’s altercation in Arlington National Cemetery, stalling users who click on the story and suggesting the link is “unsafe” or “spam.”

The warning appeared on links posted soon after the story was published by the article’s author, NPR journalist Stephen Fowler.

The warning page allows users to continue to the story if they so choose but details that the link has been identified as directing to “spam.”
