In a bold move, Elon Musk recently took over Twitter and rebranded it as X, introducing a paid option for users to receive verified blue check marks. While these changes were aimed at improving the platform, they also led to the rise of parody accounts imitating real public figures. Some of these accounts clearly state that they are parody, while others do not, causing confusion among users.
To address this issue, X is reportedly working on a new label to help users identify parody or fan accounts more easily. If implemented, these accounts will display a “Parody account” tag under their username on their profile and posts. This move aims to prevent confusion between parody accounts and the actual accounts of real people.
Furthermore, X has launched a new feature that allows users to search for jobs, similar to LinkedIn. This tool comes after the introduction of the Job Hiring feature last year, which allows companies and recruiters to post job openings. Initially released in a trial version, the job search tool is now available to all users.
Additionally, X has a label for automated bot accounts, but not all of them use it, leading to the spread of false information and manipulation during elections. These developments signal a shift towards transparency and user protection on the platform, as X continues to innovate and improve its services for its global user base.
