Is @twitter really removing likes from @jk_rowling 's tweet in support of me on purpose?

Or is there a general glitch that affects all kinds of likes?

Last week I tried an experiment. The results support the second hypothesis.
I asked several friends to like this tweet by JK Rowling, & then a week later to check back to see if their like was still there

Enough of them have come back to say their like has gone to make me think there is a general stickiness glitch
Thank you to everyone who has retweeted the original tweet over past months - it has kept it in the public eye.

But we can probably relax & assume this is just a glitch.

What is true is that there has been policy capture across institutions and people are afraid to speak up
