Elon Musk: Unverified Twitter users can view only 600 tweets a day
Twitter has put a cap on the number of tweets users can read in a day. Verified accounts can read 6,000 tweets, those unverified can only view 600 and new unverified accounts can only access 300, according to Elon Musk in his latest post. The move is to address "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation" said the Twitter owner in a tweet. Following the hullaballoo on Twitter, he again tweeted: "Now to 10k, 1k & 0.5k," which means verified, unverified and new unverified users can access 10000, 1000 and 500 tweets a day respectively. The move is a temporary emergency measure, Musk clarified. "We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users!" The term data scraping refers to a process by which companies use a computer programme to pull information out of a website for various purposes. It can also be used maliciously to gather email addresses or social media profiles, which are bundled up and sold to email spammers.
