Elon Musk’s X Under Fire for Granting Subscription Perks to ‘Terrorist’ Groups, ‘Genocide’ Promoters
The Tech Transparency Project reported that Elon Musk's social media platform X granted paid blue check mark subscription perks to accounts linked to Hezbollah, Ansar Allah and other sanctioned groups, prompting criticism over US sanctions compliance. X said its subscription process adheres to legal obligations and is independently screened by payment providers, and it removed the check marks from the identified accounts.
