Musk launches new policy: Impersonation accounts will be banned, and a broad verification mechanism becomes a necessary condition for membership.

Recently, Musk announced a series of new policies regarding account management on social media platforms. He stated that any account impersonating others without clearly labeling "imitation" will face permanent suspension, and this measure will take effect immediately, without any prior warning.

Musk emphasized that the platform is implementing extensive verification mechanisms, which will become a necessary condition for registering as a paid member. He also mentioned that users may temporarily lose their verified badge if they change their name.

This tech entrepreneur believes that this widespread verification mechanism will help democratize the news industry. He stated that these measures are aimed at increasing the authenticity and credibility of the platform.

Previously, Musk proposed adding a user verification feature to the paid membership service to address the issue of bot accounts. It is reported that the service charges $8 per month, aiming to reduce spam accounts while incentivizing content creators.

The introduction of these new policies has sparked widespread discussion, with some believing that it will effectively curb impersonation and improve platform quality; while others are concerned that it may affect user experience and freedom of speech. Regardless, these changes reflect the ongoing efforts of social media platforms to combat misinformation and enhance user experience.
