Twitter is limiting the number of tweets that accounts can read per day in order to prevent "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation," said Executive Chair Elon Musk. He claimed that hundreds of organizations were "extremely aggressively" scraping Twitter data, which was negatively affecting user experience. The announcement comes following an outage that rendered the platform unusable for thousands of users worldwide.
