"Twitter has a problem with foreign entities using bots to create new accounts and scraping (copying) large scale data from user accounts.

The new rules don’t affect your browsing or posting features on Twitter. They simply limit how many posts you can access based on the age of your account and if you pay for a subscription.

New accounts are severely limited so they can only scrape a small amount of data, making it less worthwhile.

As soon as the coders have measures in place to stop bot scraping they will normalize access."
