Musk announces new policy to combat impersonation accounts, permanently banning violators.

Recently, Musk announced a new policy on social media, implementing stricter measures against impersonation. He stated that any account engaging in impersonation without clearly labeling it as "imitation" will be permanently banned, with no prior warning given. This decision is based on the extensive verification work currently being conducted by the platform.

Musk emphasized that this regulation will become a clear condition for registering for paid membership services. He also mentioned that users may temporarily lose their verified badge if they change their name. Musk believes that this widespread verification mechanism will help democratize the news industry.

Previously, there were reports that Musk planned to add user verification features for the paid membership service to address the issue of bot accounts. This service costs $8 per month and aims to reduce spam accounts while incentivizing content creators.

This series of measures reflects the platform's emphasis on the authenticity of user identities and its determination to combat the spread of false information. However, these changes have also raised concerns among some users regarding freedom of speech and privacy protection. With the implementation of the new policies, the platform ecosystem may undergo significant changes, and users and content creators will need to adapt to these new rules.
