Elon Musk Implements Daily Twitter Post Reading Limits
Elon Musk has announced temporary daily tweet limits on Twitter to combat data scraping by computer programs. Verified accounts will be limited to reading 10,000 posts per day, while unverified accounts will have access to 1,000 posts per day. New unverified users can only access 500 posts per day. This comes after backlash to initial tweet limits set by the company. Musk's announcement also led to a spike in user reports of Twitter malfunctions. The restrictions are the latest change by Musk since taking over the social media company, including restoring banned accounts and stripping verification marks from public figures. Users have been exploring alternative platforms like Mastodon and Bluesky.
