Elon Musk [Courtesy, AP]You can only look at up to 600 tweets in a day as an unverified user, Twitter owner Elon Musk revealed on Saturday. After users had trouble and delays accessing the social networking site through the weekend, the billionaire owner announced the changes in policy. “To address extreme levels of data scrapping and system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits,” Musk wrote, adding, “ Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts per day, unverified accounts to 600 posts per day , new unverified accounts to 300 per day." CNN reports that some of the trending hashtags following the app’s new restrictions were “Rate Limit Exceeded” and “Twitter Down”, with over 40,000 Tweets mentioning the outage. It adds: “The hiccup arrives at a time when social media giant Meta is reportedly preparing to launch its own Twitter rival.”
