The US inteligence agencies monitor hundreds of millions of tweets every day (a process known as scraping) to know who their enemies are and to use their friends at Google to throttle these voices on the internet.<\/p>\n

Now Elon Musk has turned the tables on these mega-users.\u00a0 He’s put the following limits on reading tweets:<\/p>\n

– Verified accounts are limited to reading 6000 posts\/day
\n– Unverified accounts to 600 posts\/day
\n– New unverified accounts to 300\/day<\/p>\n

Now notice, these bots reading Twitter probably aren’t even verified accounts paying Elon his eight bucks a month.<\/p>\n

So they can only read 600 posts a day.\u00a0 And if they open new shell accounts those accounts can only read 300.<\/p>\n

The feds are going to have fit.<\/p>\n

Good!<\/p>\n

Wow. Musk has no idea the DARPA rattlesnake he just stepped on by this doing this\u2026<\/p>\n

My take on @elonmusk<\/a>\u2019s new rate limit policy, from the lens of the censorship industry: https:\/\/t.co\/AZ5SPIgHiz<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Rw4KBZsT9O<\/a><\/p>\n
