Elon Musk’s Twitter on Tuesday announces more restrictions on the social media platform by making its popular online dashboard TweetDeck limited to only verified users. Twitter made abrupt changes including requiring users to login to read tweets, introducing limits on viewing tweets, and restricting access to other products for unverified users.
Elon Musk Restricting “Freedom of Speech” on Twitter
Users backlash against Elon Musk and Twitter for imposing “rate limits” to limit the number of posts users can view. Verified accounts can now read 6,000 posts per day, unverified accounts 600 posts, and new unverified accounts 300 posts.
Twitter on July 4 announces another restriction for users, limiting access to its new TweetDeck to only verified users. Users can access their saved searches and workflows by selecting “Try the new TweetDeck”. However, only Twitter Blue users can continue to access it after 30 days as it will be a Twitter Blue exclusive feature.
We have just launched a new, improved version of TweetDeck. All users can continue to access their saved searches & workflows via https://t.co/2WwL3hNVR2 by selecting “Try the new TweetDeck” in the bottom left menu.
Some notes on getting started and the future of the product…
