Twitter quietly lets go of restrictions, and users can view tweets without logging in.
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu and Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 6 (Xinhua)-- days after requiring users to log in to view tweets, Twitter quietly lifted these restrictions, meaning that Twitter links can be opened in browsers without an account, and tweet previews can now be launched in Slack, WhatsApp, and iMessage.
Musk had previously said that these "temporary" measures were taken to prevent data from being crawled. "as a temporary emergency measure, our data has been robbed so much that it has affected the services of normal users," he said in a tweet.
Over the weekend, Musk also set a daily reading limit of 1000 and 10000 for unauthenticated and authenticated users, respectively, as a measure to combat data crawling. CTOnews.com previously reported that the company said in a blog post that the change affected "a small number of people" and "had little impact on advertising."
