Twitter has introduced a policy after which users of different Twitter accounts will be able to read a limited number of tweets.
Totair owner Elon Musk said that the number of tweets read per day on Twitter is being brought to a limited range with the aim of preventing large-scale data scraping and system failures.
At first, Elon Musk initially said that users of verified accounts would be able to read 6,000 posts per day while non-verified accounts would be limited to 600 posts per day. New unverified accounts are limited to 300 posts per day, he said.
He later announced the extension, saying that the temporary reading limit has been increased to 10,000 posts per day for verified users, 1,000 posts for unverified users and 500 posts per day for new unverified users.
He did not provide further details. Restrictions can result in users being locked out of Twitter for days after scrolling through several hundred tweets.
