To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
-July 1 (Reuters) - Twitter is limiting how many tweets per day various accounts can read, to discourage "extreme levels" of data scraping and system manipulation, Executive Chair Elon Musk said in a post on the social media platform on Saturday.
Verified accounts were initially limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, Musk said, adding that unverified accounts will be limited to 600 posts a day with new unverified accounts limited to 300.
The temporary reading limitation was later increased to 10,000 posts per day for verified users, 1,000 posts per day for unverified and 500 posts per day for new unverified users, Musk said in a separate post without providing further details.

Are you expressing shock at the move, the limits set, the revised limits, the fact that an account holder might read that may tweets in a day (an average human one, I submit, could not), or that there are forces at play manipulating the tweeterverse for potentially nefarious reasons?
Re: twitter limits how many posts ur allowed to read WTF?
The worst bit is that tweets will be behind a paywall. Those of us without an account will not be have access. I’m not becoming Twitter active now.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
Re: twitter limits how many posts ur allowed to read WTF?
The limitation has been imposed to address data scraping and an event must have occurred that has stressed their systems. Until they find a way to limit this then the only way, initially, to stop it is to cap the whole lot.
I read a very well informed tweet about data scraping and what a malevolent actor could do with an extensive "scrape" and it is a lot. Once I can get my son off my laptop I'll dig the tweet out and post it here.

Elon Musk blamed data scraping for strict 'rate limits' on viewing tweets. Twitter's former head of trust and safety says it's not the first time the site's been broken by someone 'bumbling around in the rate limiter.'

1. OpenAI (and similar) success and the fact its learning has come from scraping the internet- in particular Twitter and Reddit
2. The changes at Reddit, seemingly inspired by Twitter’s changes (although denied by the CEO), and then in turn inspiring this further change at Twitter

Without any regulation, development unfettered is always going to result in, sometimes seemingly draconian, responses in reaction to rather than planned adjustment.
Not unlike quarantines, and lockdowns.
The presence of platforms may give the perception of availability of free speech, but then something comes along to question whether it’s what you actually want.
Someone once sang-
You can’t always get what you need
But if you try sometime
You’ll get what you want.

It's just sensible business. If Twitter does nothing then the whole site/app is crippled for everyone, but yes - somehow it is #4 or 5 on the BBC front pages? Those guys are still so butthurt their guy got absolutely toasted in his interview with Musk.
Musk could do a lot worse than reach out to some of the big computer game giants who deal with DDoS attacks & the like all the time whilst keeping the lights on extremely active servers.
