What is data scraping and why Elon Musk is changing Twitter 'rules' over it
If you need to read more than 800 posts per day, can always opt for verified account. Most users don't read 8000, 10,000 or 12,000 posts per day unless you are data scrapping.

What happened?
Elon Musk said Saturday that Twitter users will only be able to read a certain number of posts per day due to "extreme levels of data scraping" and "system manipulation" on the platform. The Tesla CEO, who is executive chairman and CTO of Twitter, said the limits are temporary, but verified accounts will be able to read 8,000 posts per day, unverified accounts will be able to read 800 posts per day and new unverified accounts will be limited to reading 400 posts per day. Twitter issued a statement on rate limit imposed on its users a couple of days back. On the other hand, CEO Linda Yaccarino said that big moves are needed to run a platform like Twitter.
What are the drawbacks of data scraping?
Data scraping can also be harmful when used for unethical or illegal purposes. There’s always the threat of copyright infringement as data scraping may involve copying and reproducing copyrighted material without proper authorisation. This can lead to legal issues if the scraped data is protected by copyright law. Furthermore, scraping personal data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, or sensitive information, without the consent of individuals can result in privacy violations. It may lead to the misuse of personal data, identity theft, or targeted advertising.

Musk expressed concern on Friday about numerous organisations' extensive scraping of Twitter data, which he claimed had negatively impacted the user experience. He claimed that companies that use large amounts of data to train artificial intelligence language models are to blame. It was a veiled dig at Microsoft, OpenAI, Google and other companies that are using large language models for the purpose of generative AI.
