Abstract

Currently, the pursuit of research utilizing Twitter data, alongside various other social media platforms, has become an increasingly prevalent undertaking (Sinnenberg et al., 2017). The recent (end of June 2023) restrictions placed by Twitter (now X) on public access to Tweets, requiring a login in order to view them, compounded by a daily limit to the number of Tweets that can be viewed, places – we feel – a damper on open communication via social media and is thus counter to open science principles. These communication and linking limitations seem to, in one respect, defeat the purpose of such social media platforms, which should be open to the public, at least to view such communications. With truncated access, the freedom and spirited nature of communication become limited.
