Elon Musk planning a major change to X; it involves a ‘tiny fee’: Popular social media platform X may soon get a bit more expensive.

thestreet.com/social-media/elon-musk-planning-a-major-change-to-x-it-involves-a-tiny-fee

Quick Glance: Musk Plans Fee for New X Users

Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil

A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

NEW: 'No further action' after JK Rowling's Hate Crime Act Twitter posts reported to police

Quick Glance: Rowling's Remarks on Scottish Hate Crime Law Not Criminal

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has stated that her posts regarding Scotland's new hate crime law are not criminal, as confirmed by Police Scotland.

Despite complaints about her posts, where she referred to trans women as men, Rowling argued that freedom of speech and belief would cease in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex was deemed criminal.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized that people should not be criminalized for stating simple biological facts.

While the law consolidates existing hate crime legislation and introduces a new offense of stirring up hatred against protected characteristics, women have not been granted protection, raising concerns about freedom of speech in Scotland.

President Trump authorized a clandestine CIA campaign against China in 2019 to influence public opinion against the government.

The operation aimed to foment paranoia among Chinese leaders and was in response to China's aggressive efforts to increase global influence.

The CIA used false identities to spread negative narratives about the Chinese government and criticized the Belt and Road Initiative funding infrastructure projects in the developing world.

The operation poses risks of escalating tensions with China, potentially undermining U.S. credibility, while China could exploit evidence of U.S. influence operations to criticize Western interference.
