Twitter's statement regarding content viewing limits

Social media platform Twitter stated that the content viewing limit is temporary, and that it is implemented in order to detect and eliminate bots and other bad actors that harm the platform. Twitter made a statement regarding the content viewing limit that caused controversy. The statement said, "In order to ensure the reliability of our user base, we must take drastic measures to remove spam and bots from our platform." For this reason, the statement stated that usage was temporarily limited in order to detect and eliminate bots and other bad actors that harm the platform, and that work was being done to prevent these accounts from obtaining public Twitter data to create artificial intelligence models and to manipulate conversations with people on the platform in various ways. The statement noted that the restrictions affected a small percentage of people using the platform and that an update would be provided when the work was completed. The statement stated that the effects of the restrictions on advertising were also minimal, and emphasized that it was deeply committed to making Twitter a better place for everyone. The statement said, "Sometimes, even for a short moment, you have to slow down to speed up." Twitter Chairman Elon Musk announced over the weekend that a temporary content viewing limit had been imposed on users in order to detect manipulation on the platform. Musk reported that verified accounts would be able to view 6,000 content per day, while unverified accounts would be able to view 600 content per day, while new unverified accounts would be able to read 300 posts per day. Musk later shared that these limits would soon increase to 8,000, 800, and 400, respectively.
