Twitter is about to limit the number of messages that can be sent from unverified accounts

The campaign against virtual accounts and artificial intelligence abuses on Twitter is reaching its climax.

The campaign against virtual accounts and artificial intelligence abuses on Twitter is reaching its climax. Back at the end of June, there were a lot of reports that Twitter was planning to limit the maximum number of Direct Messages that can be sent for an account that has not been identified. This has finally become a reality. Twitter has officially confirmed that it will put a limit on the number of direct messages unverified users can send per day.

In a post on the Twitter Support account, the world's second-most popular social media platform said the change was implemented as part of "an effort to limit spam in Direct Messages". However, 'Blue Bird' has not revealed exactly when the new regulation will come into effect, nor what the actual number of messages per day limit will be.

The announcement added that if users want to send more than the limit of direct messages per day, users can sign up for a paid subscription to Twitter Blue for $ 8 / month. In addition to getting a 'green tick' next to the account name, Twitter Blue subscribers also get a bunch of extras: Post tweets up to 10,000 characters, edit tweets after posting, and limit ad access.

Earlier on July 1, billionaire Elon Musk - Twitter owner - announced that this social network will temporarily limit the number of posts (tweets) that users can read per day, to prevent artificial intelligence companies from abusing the platform's data. Specifically, Twitter only allows verified accounts to read 6,000 posts/day, while unverified accounts (free accounts, currently making up the majority of users) can only read 600 posts/day.
