Twitter backtracks on requiring users to log in to view tweets
Several days after Twitter disabled tweet views for users not logged in to their accounts, the company quietly backtracked from its decision. Users are able to see individual tweets without being logged in to their Twitter accounts.
According to Elon Musk, the tweet decision was a “temporary emergency measure." He said, "We were getting data pillaged so much that it was degrading service for normal users".
A similar explanation was provided by Twitter over its decision to limit the number of tweets users can view in a day, saying that it was to “detect and eliminate bots and other bad actors that are harming the platform.”
While no comment has been released on the return to their decision, Twitter has quietly enabled tweet views for non-logged-in users just as Meta releases its Twitter comPetitor, Threads.
