To reduce spam, Twitter has instituted direct message limits for unverified accounts.

Twitter has decided to limit DM access for unverified accounts in an effort to cut down on spam.

Changes "in our effort to reduce spam in Direct Messages" are on the way, the business stated.

A Twitter Blue membership is now required for those who want to send an unlimited number of direct messages.

However, Twitter was vague about the potential daily DM restriction. On Friday, the new policies would go into effect.

The microblogging service implemented a new messaging option last week to assist curb the flood of junk into direct conversations.

If you switch on the new option, messages from people you follow will go straight to your main inbox, while those from verified people you don't follow will go to a separate inbox marked "Message Requests."

Users whose permissions were previously set to enable message requests from everyone will be automatically transferred to this new option, although they may always go back if they so want.

Musk has previously imposed "temporary" constraints on how quickly he could read tweets.

If our Twitter bid is successful, we will destroy the spam bots—or I will.

According to a tweet from last week, 99.99 percent of all Tweet impressions come from material that does not violate Twitter's guidelines.

Twitter has said that it will continue to eliminate "the most serious violations of our rules," including "illegal content," and that it will suspend "bad actors" from using the service.
