Elon Musk: Twitter Implements Temporary Restrictions on Reading Posts

US Billionaire Elon Musk Addresses Twitter’s Temporary Restrictions

US billionaire Elon Musk said in a tweet today, Saturday, that the Twitter platform has implemented temporary restrictions on reading posts to address “extreme levels of data mining and system manipulation”.

Musk explained that the platform has placed temporary restrictions on verified accounts that allow them to read up to 6,000 posts per day, adding that unverified accounts will be able to read 600 posts per day, while the maximum number of new unverified accounts will be 300 posts per day.

Twitter’s Requirement of Accounts to View Tweets

The move comes after the platform announced it would require users to have accounts on it to view tweets, a move Musk described on Friday as a “temporary contingency measure.”

Musk Expresses Concerns over Data Collection

Musk said hundreds or more organizations are collecting Twitter data “in a very aggressive way”, affecting the user experience.

Musk has previously expressed his displeasure with AI companies, such as OpenAI, owner of the ChatGPT chatbot, for using Twitter data.
