Elon Musk imposes daily limits on reading posts on Twitter

SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter owner Elon Musk has limited the number of tweets that users can view each day – restrictions he described as an attempt to prevent unauthorized scraping of potentially valuable data from the social media platform.

The site is now requiring people to log on to view tweets and profiles – a change in its longtime practice to allow everyone to peruse the chatter on what Musk has frequently touted as the world’s digital town square since buying it for $44 billion last year.
