Following Instagram head Adam Mosseri’s announcement to implement rate limits on Threads, Twitter-owner Elon Musk reacted to the decision and called it a copycat.
Mosseri posted on Threads, “Spam attacks have picked up so we’re going to have to get tighter on things like rate limits, which is going to mean more unintentionally limiting active people (false positives). If you get caught up those protections let us know.”
Later, when a user tweeted a screenshot of Mosseri’s post, Musk said, “Lmaooo.” “Copy cat emoji.”
Musk also said, “Seems oppressive.”
