Jakarta –
Elon Musk again causing an uproar by limiting the number of tweets that can be read by its users, especially for new users and free users.
In his post, Musk said that unverified users (or in other words, unpaid users) could only read 600 tweets per day, which was later increased to 800 tweets. While new unverified users can only read 300 tweets (later added to 400.
Meanwhile, verified users are limited, but the number of tweets that can be read has reached 6,000 (added to 8,000), quoted detikINET from the BBC, Sunday (2/7/2023).
In his tweet, Musk said that this step was taken because of the large amount of data taken (scraping) from Twitter, as well as the high level of system manipulation that occurred. But he did not explain further the purpose of this system manipulation.
“We found there was a large amount of data being harvested to the point of degrading the quality of service for ordinary users,” said Musk, who also said that this was only a temporary measure.
In another post, Musk also mentioned that there are hundreds of organizations or more that are scraping Twitter data very aggressively.
This step immediately drew protests from many netizens, because many of their timelines could not be updated because they had crossed the line. And Musk also satirized the complaints of these netizens.
“I was hit by a limitation because I read all the posts about restrictions,” he wrote.
Musk’s move immediately became the subject of discussion among Indonesian netizens. Even directly into the trending topic “TWITTER WHY”.
“WHY TWITTER? You can just tweet but you can’t see the homepage, you can’t refresh, but you can’t always. What’s mine? How about you guys?” wrote a netizen.
“WHY TWITTER AGAIN,” said another netizen.
There are many other similar posts complaining about not being able to refresh their Twitter timeline.
