Twitter has introduced a new policy that limits how many tweets users can view each day. The policy, which was announced by CEO Elon Musk on July 1, 2023, applies to all users, regardless of whether they have a verified account or not.
Under the new policy, unverified users are limited to viewing 600 tweets per day. Verified users are limited to viewing 6,000 tweets per day. Users who exceed their daily limit will be temporarily blocked from viewing any new tweets.
Musk said that the new policy is necessary to crack down on “extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation.” He also said that the policy is temporary and will be lifted once Twitter has implemented more effective measures to prevent these activities.
The new policy has been met with mixed reactions from users. Some users have welcomed the change, saying that it will help to reduce the amount of spam and bots on Twitter. Others have criticized the change, saying that it is an infringement on their freedom of speech.
It remains to be seen how the new policy will affect Twitter in the long term. However, it is clear that the policy has already sparked a significant amount of debate and discussion.
