Twitter to temporarily limit number of posts users view per day
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - Twitter users beware! Elon Musk announced on Saturday that Twitter will temporarily limit the number of posts users can view per day.
Musk says users will only be able to read a certain number of posts per day due to extreme levels of "data scraping" and "system manipulation" on the platform.
Many users who tried to access or post content on Twitter's website and mobile app were met with a "rate limit exceeded" or "cannot retrieve tweets" error message.
As of 11:00am Eastern Time, more than 7,300 people reported issues with Twitter to the website Downdetector.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO later tweeted that he raised the limit. However, Musk did not say exactly when the new restrictions will be increased or lifted entirely.
