If you are planning to use X (formerly Twitter), be prepared to pay an annual subscription fee as the micro-blogging platform will no longer be free.
According to Reuters report, X has said that it is going to charge users $1 as an annual fee under a new subscription model. Fees apply for posting content, replying, liking, reposting or quoting posts from other accounts, and bookmarking posts.
The new subscription model will be called “Not a Bot” and the new subscription model is designed to combat bots and spammers, Ax said.

US Senator Michael Bennet had earlier sought information on how tech giants Meta, X, TikTok and Google are trying to prevent the spread of false and misleading content about the Israel-Hamas conflict on their platforms.
“Disinformation content has spread across social media sites since the conflict began, sometimes garnering millions of views,” Reuters quoted the Democrats as saying in a letter addressed to company chiefs.
Scenes from old conflicts, video game footage and altered documents are among the misleading content that has flooded social media platforms since Hamas militants attacked Israeli civilians on October 7.
“In many cases, your platform’s algorithms have amplified this content, contributing to a dangerous cycle of outrage, engagement, and retargeting,” Bennett said.
