Twitter is dead: They limited the number of tweets that could be read per day to protect its operations

The social network Twitter posted a global decline on Saturday With many users reporting service outages, which was confirmed by the specialized Downdetector website, which detected these issues in real time. “Twitter is dead,” this afternoon was the first trend in Argentina for the network that owns business tycoon Elon Musk.

“Sorry, you’ve reached the limit of the query repeat. Wait a few minutes and try again,” says one of the messages that appears when you can’t continue browsing the social network, although in some cases it happens intermittently.

After several complaints from users, Musk posted it Tweets will be limited to being read during the day. To address extreme levels of data mining and system manipulation, we applied the following time limits: Verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 posts per day; Unverified accounts at 600 posts per day and new unverified accounts at an average of 300 per day.”

An hour later, he added that the service was found limited “due to reading all posts about reading limits.”
