Twitter applies temporary limits


Tweet from Elon Musk:

To address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation, we’ve applied the following temporary limits:
  • Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts/day
  • Unverified accounts to 600 posts/day
  • New unverified accounts to 300/day

Update on X's Rate Limits

At times, even for a brief moment, you must slow down to speed up.

I don't have (or want) a Twitter account - and now I'm locked out of reading traffic report tweets from my local council! :mad:

Has Twitter gone private? Can no longer read tweets without signing in.

Until recently I've been able to read tweets on Twitter without having an account. Here's a post with an example one I could read a month ago. https://www.elevenforum.com/t/kb5026447-windows-11-insider-beta-22621-1690-and-22624-1690-may-4.14641/post-293466 But clicking on that Tweet now in any...

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

My opinion:
Your local council should not be using a site of a private company to establish such a thing as traffic reports or information!

That's the problem here in the Netherlands as well: even the police here are using either Twitter or Facebook (or similar) to report certain things that concern the general public. But as the general public will not all have a Twitter (or similar) account, they will learn from that and make those reports (etc.) available on some media that is really publically available.

It's just a matter of time, but I'm sure that will happen.

I don't have a Twitter account as well, but the one user in my family that I followed on Twitter made his Twitter messages viewable via his own site.

I agree. Your local city council should also be posting its information on the city webpage for everyone to see. I would complain to them.
Many (like me) don't FB, twit, tweet, cheep, chirp or any other social media that is useless for my everyday life and I have no plans to start. Your council should take everyone into consideration in their public service announcements.
