Great article today by FL lawyer Jeff Childers on the whole data scraping issue at Twitter and who is doing it, and why Musk responded with view limits.
AI and intelligence agencies—the usual suspects.
We kinda figured this one out already.........

Folks you are witnessing in France with the migrants running riots now, is what they have planned for the US. For months, fighting age men from all over the world have been flowing into the U.S. for that very reason. Watch!
“How would rate limits hurt the intelligence agencies? Benz speculated that the spooks are mainly the ones doing all the scraping, and are using the massive amounts of “scraped” Twitter user data to help censor Americans and stop them from thinking wrong.
My sense is that is probably true. But censorship is only a single use case. I suspect what’s really going on is much bigger: that the intelligence agencies are using real-time Twitter data to — legally — run all their online psyop operations.”
They do Goebbels proud.
So rate limits are a very good thing. Well I got my account and it was no big deal. Good from Musk to figure this out.
Thanks for the link exit
