Elon Musk’s platform, X, announced on Monday that they fixed a mistake that caused many posts to be wrongly labeled as ‘Sensitive Media.’ The company revealed that a bug in their system led to the incorrect labeling of several genuine accounts. They assured users that the issue has been resolved, and they are working to remove the labels from affected posts.
Musk also mentioned that a spam/scam bot on X mistakenly flagged many legitimate accounts, and the company is actively addressing this issue.
In response to user feedback, one follower suggested Musk address the problem of porn bots on the platform. The follower proposed a system where users can choose whether to allow or disallow flagged accounts from following, reposting, or commenting on posts.
Additionally, users pointed out concerns with the Community Notes feature, urging the company to fix that as well.
Last October, Elon Musk announced measures to combat bots on X by introducing a $1 per year fee for new users to post on the platform. While reading posts remains free, this small fee is intended to deter bots and make it more challenging for them to manipulate the platform. The program is currently being tested in New Zealand and the Philippines before a global launch.
