Social media platform Twitter is temporarily limiting the number of posts users will be allowed to read daily after seeing “extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation,” according to executive chairman Elon Musk.

In a July 1 post, Musk said the temporary limits would see verified accounts capped at 10,000 posts per day, while unverified and new unverified accounts are capped at 1,000 and 500 posts per day, respectively:
