Twitter changed its mind about preventing people without accounts from viewing tweets, and Access is re-released for those who do not have an account on the microblogging. The expiration of the requirement began to be noticed this Wednesday (5), as reported by TechCrunch.
According to the post, the functionality has been re-enabled, allows you to view content on the social network even without logging in to an account. However, there are some restrictions on accessing this way, such as the impossibility of seeing users’ posts.
tests done by Technology World show that access to some profiles and posts is still blocked for those who do not currently have a Twitter account. This is not the case in the official account of Elon Musk, the owner of the platform, whose tweets can still be seen by any internet user.
Since there is no official statement that the sign-in requirement is over, it was discovered that the function was returned with the sharing of links on WhatsApp, Slack and iMessage, as well as banning access to disconnected users. Suddenly, the preview of the tweets became available again.
Twitter reasons
Blocking people without a microblogging account from accessing Twitter was a “temporary emergency measure”.. The statement was made by the former CEO of the social network, who also said it was his decision to prevent “data scraping” and corruption of the service for regular users.
However, Musk did not elaborate on what was done to prevent the collection of data, which is likely to be used to train AI engines. The rationale is the same as the rationale given for limiting the number of viewed tweets per day, which led to a large number of complaints last weekend.
Interestingly, the change in plans comes a day before the launch of Threads, a new Twitter competitor that Meta should make available starting tomorrow (6th). The future platform is expected to allow you to view posts without having to log in.
