Isn't Musk hinting that twitter implemented rate limits because Meta/Threads were scraping them agreaaively?
- claudiulodro 3y agoAFAIK originally he said it was 100 AI companies using it for training data and then eventually morphed that to this line of reasoning, but why would Meta possibly need to scrape Twitter and, even if they did, why would they be so hamfisted about it given that they already have the `facebookexternalhit` scraper which hasn't been causing issues. I'd take Musk's statement with a big grain of salt.
