Elon Musk's Weird New Rules Anger Twitter Users, Cause Outage

Twitter users are up in arms over a new set of rules imposed by Elon Musk, the social media platform's new owner. The rules, which went into effect on July 1, 2023, limit the number of times users can view tweets in a day and require them to pay for a subscription if they want to see more.

The new rules have been met with widespread criticism from Twitter users, who say they are unfair and restrictive. Many users have reported being unable to view tweets from their favorite accounts, and some have even said they are considering deleting their Twitter accounts altogether.

The backlash against Musk's new rules has also led to a technical outage on Twitter. On July 2, 2023, many users reported being unable to access the platform. The outage lasted for several hours before it was eventually resolved.

It is unclear what caused the outage, but some experts believe it may have been related to the high volume of traffic caused by users trying to access Twitter after Musk's new rules went into effect.

The outage is the latest in a series of problems that have plagued Twitter since Musk took over the company. In recent weeks, Twitter has also been criticized for its handling of spam bots and for its decision to fire two top executives.

It remains to be seen how Musk will address the growing dissatisfaction with Twitter. However, it is clear that his new rules have already caused a great deal of anger and frustration among users.
