New York: Elon Musk has announced that Twitter will temporarily restrict how many tweets users can read per day, in a move meant to tamp down on the use of the site’s data by artificial intelligence or AI companies.

The platform is limiting verified accounts to reading 6,000 tweets a day. Non-verified users – the free accounts that make up the majority of users – are limited to reading 600 tweets per day. New unverified accounts would be limited to 300 tweets.
