The owner of Twitter has decided to extend the limits imposed on Saturday on the reading of posts by each user, noting the "irony" that the tweet with this announcement has become the most read ever to date.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk announced on Saturday that the social network Twitter has temporarily imposed daily limits on the number of posts a user can read, claiming to avoid "extreme levels of data collection and system manipulation".

According to a tweet published on Saturday, which is currently the most read to date on this social network, the Twitter owner said that "verified accounts" could read up to "6,000 posts a day", while "unverified accounts" could read 600 and in the case of "new unverified accounts" there would be 300 posts.

In this announcement, the businessman pointed out that these limits could "soon" be raised to 8,000, 800 and 400 respectively.

Within hours, Elon Musk made changes, increasing the limits to 10,000 posts for verified accounts, 1,000 for unverified accounts and 500 for new unverified accounts.

Nevertheless, the initial announcement of limits on reading publications on Twitter caused a "stir" on the social network, while many users reported problems accessing the content.

The Twitter owner's first publication on imposing limits accumulated more than 455 million reads between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

"In yet another exercise in irony, this post got a record number of views!" said the entrepreneur, who sarcastically commented in another message how users were hitting the reading limits "for reading over the limit" and complaining about the measure.
