Elon Musk, Twitter's Executive Chair, has announced new daily tweet reading limits on Twitter, citing concerns over aggressive data scraping and system manipulation. Musk initially set the limit for verified users at 6,000 tweets per day, unverified at 600, and new unverified accounts at 300, but these were subsequently raised. Musk's decision was met with both backlash and support, turning "Goodbye Twitter" into a trending topic.
However, Musk later announced increased limits, allowing verified users to read up to 10,000 posts per day, unverified users up to 1,000 posts per day, and new unverified users up to 500 posts per day. While Musk didn't provide additional details, these changes are aimed at combatting aggressive data scraping by numerous organizations. Interestingly, this move comes as Twitter requires users to have an account to view tweets, considering it a "temporary emergency measure." Musk highlighted the negative impact of aggressive data scraping on user experience, driving this decision.
Following Musk's announcement, "Goodbye Twitter" became a trending topic in the United States. Musk stated that Twitter plans to raise the daily tweet limit soon, with verified accounts allowed up to 8,000 tweets per day, unverified accounts up to 800 tweets, and new unverified accounts up to 400 tweets. However, he didn't specify a timeline for how long these limitations will be in place.
In addition to addressing the limitations, Musk expressed his displeasure with artificial intelligence firms like OpenAI, criticizing their heavy reliance on Twitter data for training language models. This indicates a broader concern beyond the scope of daily tweet limits.
During an outage on Saturday morning, approximately 7,500 users reported difficulties accessing the Twitter app, as reported by Downdetector.com, an outage tracking website. This highlights the ongoing challenges Twitter faces in maintaining a reliable user experience.
Under Musk's ownership, Twitter has taken various measures to regain advertisers and boost subscription revenue, including introducing verification check marks into the Twitter Blue program. These recent updates aim to maintain order, integrity, and user satisfaction while effectively addressing data scraping and system manipulation concerns.
