In the information age, news spreads fast. Of course, social media applications help a lot in this regard. However, along with accurate information, fake news is also circulating rapidly. Elon Musk took action to prevent this situation. The company’s CEO took some precautions. Here are the details…
Twitter/X posts containing false information will no longer receive ad revenue!
Elon Musk said this change was to promote accuracy rather than sensationalism. With the new regulation, posts containing false information will no longer receive advertising revenue. In this way, the CEO of the popular social media application will try to prevent the spread of fake news in X.
Elon Musk, formerly known as Twitter, bought Twitter and branded it about a year ago. Reorganized its name and logo. It has incorporated brand new features. Now he will fight against fake news.
Musk announced that the platform has disabled ad revenue sharing on posts corrected through Community Notes fact checks. In this way, it aims to make inflammatory misinformation less obvious on the popular social media application.
X, formerly known as Twitter, implemented ad revenue sharing earlier this year. With this app, it gives users a portion of the revenue from ads shown in replies to their posts. But everything has a price. This program is only for X Premium users and users with a verified organization account.
Users who want to benefit from ad revenue must also have at least 500 followers and at least 5 million total organic impressions on all their posts in the last three months. Of course, Musk also introduced new rules with an update.
Unfortunately, social media posts are more likely to go viral if they are divisive, polarizing, negative, or contain misinformation. That’s exactly why Elon Musk declared war on such news. So, if you’re aiming to maximize your potential Twitter/X ad revenue earnings starting today, be careful not to post with content like this.
