Twitter appears to be restricting access to its platform for anyone not logged into an account.
People without a Twitter account or who weren’t logged in used to be able to scroll the platform’s homepage and view public accounts and tweets. But as of this week, when such a user opens the platform they are met with a screen prompting them to sign up or sign in to Twitter.
Internet users began noticing the change late this week, and on Friday, multiple CNN reporters were unable to access Twitter without logging in.
It was not immediately clear whether the change was an intentional policy update or a glitch, both of which have been common at Twitter since Musk took over the platform. Twitter did not respond to a request for comment.
