Elon Musk sets new daily Twitter limits for users – By Tamia Fowlkes and Julian Mark (The Washington Post) / July 1, 2023
Elon Musk announced Saturday that Twitter will temporarily limit the number of tweets users can read per day – with separate limits for paid and unpaid users – to combat computer programs that comb through posts to extract useful data from the platform.
It’s unclear how long the limits will last, and what lifting them will depend on. Musk did not respond to a request for comment.
Verified accounts will be limited to reading 10,000 posts per day while unverified accounts will have access to 1000 per day, Musk tweeted. New unverified users, who join the platform after Saturday’s announcement, can only access 500 posts per day. The change came after significant backlash to initial tweet limits set by the company Saturday afternoon, allowing 6,000 tweets verified users, 600 tweets for unverified and 300 for new profiles.
