Twitter will limit how many tweets users can read!
As per the new regulations, verified Twitter account holders can peruse a maximum of 6,000 posts daily, while unverified users must contend with a drastically reduced limit of 600 posts.
Twitter’s Executive Chair Elon Musk in a post on the social media platform on Saturday notified the new plans of the micro-blogging site.
Twitter will now be limiting how many tweets per day various accounts can read, to discourage “extreme levels” of data scraping and system manipulation.
“Verified accounts were initially limited to reading 6,000 posts a day,” Musk said, adding that unverified accounts will be limited to 600 posts a day with new unverified accounts limited to 300.
“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 added in a separate post without providing further details.
In yet another exercise in irony, this post achieved a record view count!
