Twitter’s Bold Move: Daily DM Limits For Unverified Users Spark Controversy

Twitter, the social media giant, is gearing up to introduce a significant change that has stirred up both curiosity and concern among its users.

While Twitter has not yet specified the exact daily limits for unverified users, the announcement has already sparked a wave of reactions and discussions across the platform. Verified and unverified users alike have voiced their opinions, with some expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of these limits and others raising questions about the platform’s underlying motives.

Critics argue that limiting DMs for unverified accounts may not necessarily curb spam, as verified accounts could still potentially engage in spamming activities. Some users have even gone a step further, suggesting that Twitter’s motive behind this move is to incentivize users to pay for verification, generating revenue that could help cover the platform’s operational costs.

This upcoming change is just one in a series of radical shifts that Twitter has undergone since Elon Musk’s involvement with the platform. On July 1, Twitter implemented rate limits on the number of daily posts users could view, an effort to combat data scraping and system manipulation.

Despite Twitter’s ongoing efforts to tackle scams and bad actors, such issues persist. Recently, members of Crypto Twitter detected and warned against a scam promoted through the compromised account of Uniswap founder Hayden Adams. The scam falsely claimed that the platform’s Permit2 contract had been exploited, tricking users into clicking on a malicious link.

As Twitter embarks on these changes and addresses various challenges, the platform remains under scrutiny. Users are keen to see how these new DM limits will impact spam and whether they will succeed in achieving the platform’s goal of reducing unwanted messages. Amid the ongoing debates, the social media giant must navigate the delicate balance between enhancing user experience, combating fraudulent activities, and preserving the spirit of open communication that has defined Twitter for years.
