Twitter Introduces Temporary Tweet Limit, Prompts Backlash

Twitter imposed temporary daily limits on how many posts users can view — 6,000 for verified accounts, 600 for unverified and 300 for new unverified accounts — to combat data scraping, prompting user backlash and a surge in sign-ups on alternative platforms Bluesky and Mastodon. Elon Musk indicated the limits would soon be raised to 10,000, 1,000 and 500 posts respectively.
