Elon Musk-run X on Monday said it has fixed a bug that caused the platform to incorrectly label numerous posts as ‘Sensitive Media’.<\/p>\n
According to the company, the vulnerability in its system flagged several genuine accounts.<\/p>\n
“A bug in our system caused X to incorrectly label numerous posts as Sensitive Media,” the company posted.<\/p>\n
“We’ve fixed the underlying issue and are now working to remove labels from impacted posts, it added.<\/p>\n
Musk also said that an “X spam\/scam bot accidentally flagged many legitimate accounts” which was being fixed by the company.<\/p>\n
A follower reacted, saying that Musk can also fix the problem with the porn bots.<\/p>\n
“Porn accounts should be flagged and there should be some kind of system where as a user, you can have in your settings to allow\/not allow these flagged accounts to follow, repost or comment on a post,” the follower posted.<\/p>\n
Another user commented: “Community Notes has also been hijacked. Fix that as well”.<\/p>\n
Last October, the world’s richest man said that in order to tackle bots, new X users will need to pay $1 per year to post on the platform, although they can read other posts for free.<\/p>\n
The company rolled out the test of this new programme in New Zealand and the Philippines, before it launches it globally.<\/p>\n
X will require new users in New Zealand and the Philippines to pay $1 to create accounts.<\/p>\n
“Read for free, but $1\/year to write. It’s the only way to fight bots without blocking real users,” Musk had posted.<\/p>\n
“This won’t stop bots completely, but it will be 1000X harder to manipulate the platform,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
