Twitter Fixes Maximum Number Of Posts A User Can Read Daily On The Platform, Announces Elon Musk

Twitter announces implementation of temporary limits of daily reading of posts.

New Delhi: In an effort to tackle rampant data scraping and system manipulation, Twitter has announced the implementation of temporary limits on the daily reading of posts, effectively curbing user activity.

Put simply, these limits will impose a ceiling on the number of posts users can read on the platform.

Maximum Daily Reading Limit Of Posts For Twitter Users

Verified accounts will now have a maximum daily reading limit of 6000 posts. This move aims to strike a balance between granting access to information and protecting against potential abuse.

Unverified accounts, on the other hand, will face a reduced limit, allowing them to read up to 600 posts per day. This measure seeks to curtail excessive activity from unverified users and maintain the integrity of the platform.

In addition, new unverified accounts will face stricter restrictions, with a maximum limit of 300 posts per day. This limitation aims to ensure a controlled onboarding process for new users, minimizing the risk of misuse from the outset. These temporary limits come as part of Twitter's ongoing efforts to combat data scraping and system manipulation, addressing concerns over the unauthorized collection of user data and the manipulation of online discourse.

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:

- Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
- Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
- New unverified accounts to 300/day

By implementing these measures, Twitter aims to create a safer and more secure environment for its users, promoting transparency and fairness in online interactions. As the battle against data scraping and system manipulation continues, Twitter's latest move underscores its commitment to protecting user privacy and preserving the integrity of its platform.
