New York (EFE) build artificial intelligence (AI) models.
Musk announced a reading wall last Saturday that limits the number of daily tweets that verified (10,000) and unverified (1,000) accounts can see, with a further restriction for non-paying or recently created accounts (500), after what thousands of users reported access problems.
In a statement, Twitter indicated that it takes “extreme measures to eliminate spam and bots from the platform” and that this is what this new wall is about, which will be “temporary” and of which it did not inform in advance because “it would have allowed bad actors alter their behavior to avoid detection.”
“At a high level, we are working to prevent these accounts from 1) extracting public data from people’s Twitter to build AI models and 2) manipulating people and conversations on the platform in various ways,” added the technology.
Affected Twitter Users
On Saturday, the Downdetector monitoring page collected 7,000 reports of problems accessing the social network, which have been normalized since then, and this Tuesday there were no reports.
Many users posted the error message that appeared on the platform, indicating that they had reached their daily reading limit.
Twitter said today that the restrictions currently affect “a small percentage of people” and that it will send an update when “the work is complete.”
Plus, he said, the “advertising effects are minimal for advertisers.”
