Musk's decision to monetize the verification process stirred controversy, especially after he acquired Twitter in 2022., Technology & Science News, Times Now
Elon Musk’s X, the company formerly known as Twitter, is potentially violating US terrorist sanctions by allowing groups such as Hezbollah to purchase verification “check marks”, campaigners have claimed.
The report claims that over a dozen X accounts for US-sanctioned entities had a blue checkmark, which requires the purchase of a premium subscription.
Social media platform X has been accused of possibly breaking US sanction law by granting subscription perks to terrorist groups and others banned in the US.
A new report cited 28 “verified” accounts on X that appear to be tied to sanctioned groups or individuals.
