Twitter has announced new restrictions on user activity, including limits on the number of tweets that users can send and read per day. The restrictions are reportedly being implemented in an effort to improve the quality of discourse on the platform.
Under the new rules, verified users will be limited to reading 10,000 tweets per day, while unverified users will be limited to 600 tweets per day. New unverified users will only be able to read 300 tweets per day. The limits on tweet sending are similar, with verified users allowed to send 1,000 tweets per day, unverified users allowed to send 800 tweets per day, and new unverified users allowed to send 400 tweets per day.
The restrictions are being met with mixed reactions from users. Some users have welcomed the changes, saying that they will help to reduce the amount of spam and abuse on the platform. Others have criticized the restrictions, saying that they are too restrictive and will stifle free speech.
Twitter has defended the restrictions, saying that they are necessary to improve the quality of discourse on the platform. The company says that the restrictions will help to ensure that users are only seeing relevant and high-quality content.
The new restrictions are the latest in a series of changes that Twitter has made in recent months. In April, the company announced that it would be cracking down on misinformation and hate speech. In May, it announced that it would be adding new features to make it easier for users to report abuse.
It remains to be seen how the new restrictions will affect user activity on Twitter. However, the company is clearly making an effort to improve the quality of discourse on the platform. Only time will tell if the restrictions are successful in achieving this goal.
In addition to the restrictions on tweet sending and reading, Twitter has also announced new restrictions on user accounts. For example, new users will now have to wait 24 hours before they can tweet or retweet. Additionally, users who have been suspended for violating Twitter’s rules will now have to wait longer before they can create a new account.
The new restrictions are part of Twitter’s ongoing efforts to improve the safety and quality of the platform. The company says that the restrictions are necessary to protect users from abuse and harassment. However, some users have criticized the restrictions, saying that they are too restrictive and will stifle free speech.
