Will twitter penalize substack users like it had penalized sharing of instagram pictures by removing the preview embedded in tweets?

Instagram pictures don't show up on Twitter because Facebook blocked it. They did that in response to Twitter blocking Instagram from finding contacts via Twitter. Its FAANG in-fighting from like 8 years ago that I'm still kind of surprised hasn't been sorted out by now.
More like NATFAG in-fighting in this case
wow that's a terrible acronym.
How about FATNAG…oh wait, that's still not not great.
FANTAG rolls of the tongue.
I listened to a podcast that included this story, it was a Facebook decision. Mark phoned and gave them a few hours heads up that 'Instagram' had decided not to allow the embeds any more. They actually got it delayed 24 hours or something like that to avoid breaking Twitter.
If that is the case then I hope they are split up on antitrust grounds. But somehow I doubt the current administration will go after big tech.
