       LOL this is not how you deal with "data scraping," this is how you deal with a catastrophic loss of system capacity.You limit data scraping by blocking things a human user couldn't do, like access a thousand posts a minute. This is aimed directly at reducing normal activity across the whole system.

       @maxkennerly I like how "people have now stopped using Twitter so much that we can increase the rate limit" is touted as a win for users 🙃

       @maxkennerly Its a lie to cover for the fact they have no idea what is causing it, he tosses out a number and now everyone focuses on that instead. The 2nd tweet is what gives the lie away - there is no way they pushed that scale of change that quickly.

       @docmagnificent @maxkennerly #Musk has habits of throwing out random crap into the void and seeing what can be made to work. With #SpaceX that's fine, because Shotwell knows what she's doing. With #Twitter (and a lesser extent #Tesla ), not so much.

       @maxkennerly Also while there was reporting that twitter came to a deal with google and Linda ordered the back payment to be made, there was no indication the payment actually happened. And the date of shut off was 6t/30...soI think its much more likely GCP cut them off and its playing havoc with the backend.

       @maxkennerly It's funny because your post is fed into an FBI trough on facebook unless you have similarly locked down your public feed.

       @maxkennerly it’s more likely Elon refuse to pay cloud services and using limit as an excuse.
