Twitter limits the number of daily subscriptions to combat spam

The popular social network Twitter continues to fight spam and chatbots. The next step in this direction will be to limit the maximum number of subscriptions that a user can issue per day. Now network users will be able to subscribe to only 400 accounts daily, while previously it was allowed to add up to 1000 accounts per day. The corresponding message appeared on the official Twitter page.

Company representatives say that they are directly interested in reducing the amount of spam, as this makes the service more attractive to users. Statistics show that the ability to make a large number of daily subscriptions leads to a churn of users, so the developers decided to change this feature. In the future, Twitter experts will continue to monitor the situation, if necessary, creating new restrictions and introducing other tools to allow network users to feel comfortable.

It is worth noting that prior to the decrease in the number of daily subscriptions, the Twitter network took other steps aimed at combating spam and chatbots. Last year, the developers saved the social network from the so-called "mass tweets", when users posted the same content from different accounts. In addition, there was an integration of a tool using which users can tag bots. In the process of registering a new account on the network, you must go through the process of verifying your identity through a mobile phone number or using an electronic mailbox.
