X will start charging new users in these two countries

Social Network X, as it was formerly known Twitter, It has started testing its new payment system called ‘Not a Bot’ in New Zealand and the Philippines, which is aimed at reducing spam and bot activity.

X Help Center explained that if new unverified users want to use the basic functions of the site, such as writing, replying and sending posts, they must pay the equivalent of $1 annually.

It clarified that users who choose not to participate in subscription programs are only entitled to read posts, watch videos and follow other accounts.

However, X commented that existing accounts will not be affected by the new payment plan.

“It will evaluate a powerful measure to fight ‘bots’ and ‘spammers’ in X, while balancing the access of the site with a small fee,” pointed out the social network’s help center, which plans to share the related results. Your payment method will arrive shortly.

Elon Musk announced last September that his X platform will no longer be free, as he plans to charge users “a small monthly fee to use the system.”

At that time, the principal did not reveal more details about the cost of the subscription and the date of its implementation. “We want it to be a small amount,” Musk said, clarifying that the move is “the only way” to combat the vast armies of ‘bots’.
