Twitter has put limits on all users restricting the amount of content they are able to read, Elon Musk announced on Saturday. Users across the UK thought Twitter had gone down when they started getting 'limit' messages at midday on Saturday.
But the new Twitter owner has announced a restriction on use of the site because of 'data scraping and system manipulation'.
Mr Musk, who took over Twitter in October after buying it for 44 billion dollars (£35.5 billion), announced on Saturday that verified accounts are being limited to reading 6,000 posts a day.
