X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, has recently launched a new initiative to remove ‘bots’ and accounts that violate its rules against platform manipulation and spam. The company has warned that this initiative may impact the number of followers users have on the platform. X’s Spam Policy prohibits the artificial amplification or suppression of information, as well as any actions that manipulate or hinder the user experience.
As part of their ongoing efforts to maintain a safe and reliable platform for users to express themselves freely, X is actively working to identify and remove accounts that violate its policies. This isn’t the first time they have taken action against this issue – in October of last year, they launched a function to limit post responses to verified users only, aimed at preventing spam responses from bots.
The new proactive initiative aims to delete accounts that violate X’s rules on manipulated content and spam in order to preserve the integrity and security of the platform. Users who believe their accounts have been unfairly affected can request an appeal through the X help center. Overall, X remains committed to creating a platform that is free from manipulation and spam, reflecting their ongoing efforts to achieve this goal.
