Thousands of people logged complaints about problems accessing Twitter on Saturday after owner Elon Musk limited most users to viewing 600 tweets a day -- restrictions he described as an attempt to prevent unauthorized scraping of potentially valuable data from the site.

    Musk doesn’t realise that as a result of this rate limiting, the site is actually DDoSing itself, the fool.

      I thought it was the other way around: They had made changes that had the site DDOS’ing itself & Mollusk publicly said that because of extreme levels of data scraping, rate limits were being implemented.

        Not quite. It appears to be self inflicted.
