Twitter has applied temporary reading limits to address “extreme levels” of data scraping a system manipulation, Elon Musk said in a post on the social media platform.
Verified accounts were temporarily limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, Musk said, adding that unverified accounts and new unverified accounts were limited to reading 600 posts a day and 300 posts a day respectively.
The temporary reading limitation was later increased to 10,000 posts per day for verified users, 1,000 posts per day for unverified, and 500 posts per day for new, unverified users, Musk said in a separate post without providing further details.
Earlier, Twitter had announced that it will require users to have an account on the social media platform to view tweets, a move that Musk on Friday called a ‘temporary emergency measure.” (With inputs from Agencies)
