    It costs money to put these articles together.

    If you don’t want to pay for them, that’s fine. Block the bot.

    If you want to see them when they come out, and you’re okay with navigating the paywall to evaluate whether you want to subscribe to the service, the name of the bot serves as a warning so you know what you’re getting into.

    If you want to subscribe to one of the paywalled sources, and then subscribe to the community so you can see all its content and talk to people about it, you know what to do.

    Alp Toker, director of Netblocks, said the social media platform’s explanation of how the issue was fixed “isn’t particularly consistent” with a DDoS attack. “Given Elon Musk’s claim that X had to limit the number of live listeners to mitigate the issue, we can infer that the outage correlated to the number of live listeners,” said Mr Toker. “Limiting the number of legitimate users isn’t an ordinary mitigation for DDoS attacks and wouldn’t usually help… so Mr Musk’s own statement suggests that the platform might have been struggling with overall listener capacity.”
