Users will soon be able to block links in responses on Elon Musk's X
By MYBRANDBOOK
In an effort to stop spam bots from flooding comments with links that promote themselves, Elon Musk's X is going to roll out a feature that lets users ban links in responses to their posts. The director of X's security engineering confirmed that this feature might either make fact-checking more difficult or less effective. It is currently unknown whether the service is available to paid or free customers.
While the feature could come as a relief to users tired of spam bots posting irrelevant links in their replies, it could also be a hindrance to people trying to fact-check a post to limit its reach. In any case, we don't know yet whether the new link-blocking feature will be available to free users or, like everything else the platform is announcing these days, will be limited to X's paid users.
Notably, tackling the threat of spam bots has been one of Musk's main agendas since he took over. In a post on X earlier this year, Musk said that a "systemic purge of bots & trolls is underway" and that the social media platform would track down the people responsible for these bots, while bringing "the full force of the law to bear upon them".
Meanwhile, Elon Musk had also tested a ‘Not a Bot’ programme for new users in Philippines and New Zealand. The programme requires new users to pay a $1 annual fee for using basic features like reply,like or bookmark a post.
