Elon Musk puts up paywalls for reading tweets, blaming ‘data scrapers

Elon Musk continues to blame Twitter’s new posting restrictions on data-scypters and system manipulation.

Today, he announced new temporary limits on how many posts people can read.

Unverified accounts will now be able to see only 600 posts per day, and new unverified accounts, just 300 in a day.

The limitations are being applied one day after Twitter suddenly started blocking access for anyone who isn’t logged in.

Musk claimed it necessary because sever hundred organizations were scraping Twitter data extremely aggressively, to the point where it was affecting the real user experience.”

The limits for verified accounts (presumably whether they’re bought as a part of the Twitter Blue subscription, granted through an organization, or verification Elon forced on people like Stephen King, LeBron James, and anyone else with more than a million followers) still allow reading only a maximum of 6,000 postsper day.

Musk didn’t elaborate on what “new” means in this context.
