Twitter has applied a temporary limit to the number of tweets users can read in a day, owner Elon Musk has said.


In a tweet, Mr Musk said unverified accounts can read up to 600 posts a day.


Meanwhile, verified accounts are temporarily limited to reading 6,000 posts a day.


Mr Musk has said that newly unverified accounts are limited to reading 300 posts per day.


In a statement, he said the temporary reading limits were put in place to address "extreme levels" of data scrapping and system manipulation.


On Friday, those trying to access Twitter were told they had to login to view the content. the move was a "temporary emergency measure", Mr Musk said.


He claimed that the social media platform was "getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users".


Looks like it's the beginning of the end for Twitter.

So innovative, so clever, wow.

Except from the fact he’s never invented anything or been an innovator in any way whatsoever, everything he takes control of he makes an absolute arse of and he pays smart people to invent things for him. What a guy.

Don’t use twitter anyway but can’t see this going very well for them

Absolutely mental decision. Knew it would go down the pan eventually when he bought it. Always been my social media of choice which is unfortunate!

Money mad that fella, ruining a great social platform. At least we don't need to read the delusion of Arsenal fans.

I am probably reading about 20 or 30 a day. Life is too short.

Yep, it's a shame because there was a time when it was a great platform. I met a lot of people in my industry through it.

Sadly, Elon has ****ed it. Guess I'll have a look at some other platforms but also thinking it might be time to leave SM in general.

Or go back to MySpace :greengrin

I think it's madness to charge for additional access to social media content, I elaborated further on this in the PM forum.

Twitter, reddit and you tube doing their best to destroy their platforms, all in one week.
