A recent investigation by the Tech Transparency Project reveals that over 200 users affiliated with terrorist organizations, including Al-Qaeda and Hamas, are paying for subscriptions on X, formerly Twitter, granting them blue verification badges and access to premium features. This raises serious concerns about the platform's content moderation practices, as these accounts can effectively distribute propaganda and fundraise. Despite X's terms prohibiting such affiliations, the platform's verification process has been criticized for its ineffectiveness since Elon Musk's takeover.
Elon Musk's social media platform, X, continues to accept subscription payments from accounts linked to terrorist organizations, despite warnings about potential violations of U.S. sanctions. A report by the Tech Transparency Project revealed that over 200 accounts associated with sanctioned groups have purchased blue check marks, which provide enhanced visibility and features. While X's policies prohibit such transactions, the lack of identity verification has allowed these accounts to circumvent the rules, raising concerns about the platform's role in facilitating fundraising for these groups.
