Twitter blocked data access to AI-based chatbots such as ChatGPT on Saturday to prevent data harvesting incidents.
Thanks to artificial intelligence-based tools, Elon Musk is tasked with preventing data harvesting and system manipulation on Twitter. Previously, it was reported that the social media platform restricted access to data for AI-based chatbots such as ChatGPT.
This was part of a group of new restrictions implemented by the company on Saturday, which limit the number of posts each user can view per day. Musk’s signature was evident on the platform, which heavily skewed the rules in favor of paid users relative to unverified users.
Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market appears to offer a solution to Twitter’s data scaping issue. Intriguingly, the solution obviates the need to limit the number of tweets that users can access per day in order to prevent skimming.
Theta Network Technology (THETA)
According to proponents of Theta Network, its technology provides a framework for decentralized data streaming and delivery that could prevent AI companies from illicit data scraping.
Data scraping is the use of software tools or scripts to extract information from websites and databases, which poses a significant hazard to the security of user data on the internet. Recent reports indicate that AI companies use data mining tools to train their large language models (LLMs). Musk’s criticism of AI development is well-known, following his support for limiting the industry’s rate of development.
Larry, a THETA supporter on Twitter, explained how Theta Network’s patent for “Methods and systems for a decentralized data streaming and delivery network” can aid the social media company’s cause.
“This technology could potentially reduce the need for Twitter to impose daily post viewing limits, thereby enhancing the user experience.”

Overall, a collaboration in this direction could have a tremendous impact on the cryptocurrency market. It remains to be seen, however, if Musk is interested in devising an in-house technological solution.
