Elon Musk's Twitter Paywall Sparks Confusion and Criticism

Elon Musk blames data scraping by AI startups for the implementation of new paywalls on reading tweets. Twitter has imposed temporary limits on the number of posts users can read, with unverified accounts restricted to 600 posts per day and new unverified accounts limited to 300 posts per day. Verified accounts, including those obtained through the Twitter Blue subscription, are allowed a maximum of 6,000 posts per day. Musk plans to increase these limits soon. The restrictions come after Twitter blocked access for non-logged-in users due to aggressive data scraping by hundreds of organizations. Musk has been implementing various monetization strategies for Twitter, including API charges and the Twitter Blue pay-for-verification scheme. He has also appointed a new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, to rebuild relationships with advertisers.
