He believes that in this way he fights scraping
Elon Musk today unpleasantly surprised many Twitter users: he announced restrictions on reading and viewing posts on the social network. He explained this decision by the fight against scraping – the automated collection of data arrays.
“ Verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 messages per day, unverified accounts 600 messages per day, new unverified accounts 300 per day ,” he tweeted.
A big hello to everyone on Twitter.
Naturally, many users were dissatisfied with such restrictions, so Musk made concessions: an hour after the announcement of the introduction of restrictions, he wrote that the limit would be increased to 8 thousand, 800 and 400 posts, respectively. Musk added that the restrictions were imposed due to “an extremely high level of data collection and system manipulation .”
