Twitter users have recently reported that when they try to send private messages to accounts that have not followed each other, they will receive a notification that “Only authenticated users can send private messages to unfollowed users.” Send a private message. To continue, please sign up for the Twitter Blue service.”
In response to this matter, Twitter has confirmed that it will modify the rules for sending private messages. Musk also responded on Twitter that by limiting the sending of private messages, spam can be reduced. He emphasized that technological developments have made it more difficult to distinguish AI robots, and the new regulations will effectively filter information from robots, saying, “I want to release this update within this week, because the payment system is a way to increase the cost of robots by 10,000.” times the authentication method”.
Twitter will lower the daily private message-sending limit for unpaid users in the near future, while the current limit is 500. Obviously, in addition to the reasons claimed by Musk, Twitter’s restrictions on the private message function are also to stimulate users to pay, because all these restrictions will not affect paying users.
