Elon Musk has done a lot of things to remake Twitter in his own image since purchasing the social media platform last year. He's gotten rid of most of its employees, ditched its longstanding verification program, stopped paying its bills, and alienated many of its advertisers along with its most prolific users. Or, put another way, he's turned one of the most widely-used sources of real-time information and turned it into the chaos platform.
Still, of all the controversial things Musk has done, on Saturday, he may have just topped them all. In a tweet, Musk announced that Twitter was imposing rate limits to "address extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation."

We are seeing the same form of attack: Reddit API limits, Twitter rate limits - breaking Nitter & now Inividious also has legal letter from YT.
An attack on private searching (to enhance tracking?)
