Popular social media platform Twitter had access problems both on mobile and browser during the day. Thousands of Twitter users said, “Tweets cannot be retrieved at this time. Please try again later.” While it was stated that he received a warning, a statement came from Elon Musk on the subject.
Elon Musk showed the address for the problem that occurred on Twitter
Elon Musk described the problems experienced with his post on Twitter as a “temporary emergency measure”. Stating that the data on the social media platform was pulled by many different organizations quickly, Musk stated that they had to take various measures.
Stating that hundreds of organizations scrape Twitter data very aggressively, Elon Musk also attributes the problems caused on the social media platform to this situation. With Musk’s statement, it turned out that the measures taken due to this situation caused transportation problems on Twitter.
Elon Musk announced that they have also launched a temporary application to solve the problems. Accordingly, users will be able to access a limited number of posts. Here are the temporarily available limits:
- Verified accounts will be limited to reading 6000 posts per day
- Unverified accounts will be able to read 600 posts per day
- New unverified accounts will be able to read 300 posts.
On the other hand, there are also allegations that this problem is the result of Elon Musk’s reduction in the number of employees and service quality in line with his goal of cost reduction. Of course, these are just allegations, but may have an impact on the growth of the problem.
Elon Musk, on the other hand, has completely linked this situation to the aggressive policy of the organizations. The popular businessman also states that he is open to ideas for solving problems. However, we can say that this temporary limitation imposed by Twitter will not please many users.
