Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Saturday announced “temporary limits” on the number of tweets users are able to read, an announcement that comes amid reports of users having difficulty accessing the site.
“To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits,” Musk tweeted.
Verified accounts “are limited to reading 6000 posts/day,” while unverified accounts were limited to 600 per day, Musk’s tweet said. New and unverified counts will have an even lower limit of 300, he said.
It was unclear how the site was calculating what counted as a read tweet. USA TODAY reached out to Twitter for clarification and and received a automated message of a poop emoji, as is standard for the company.
