Elon Musk-owned X (formerly Twitter) has been accused of profiting from the sale of verification badges to individuals and organizations linked to US enemies.
According to a report published by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), the social media site granted blue check marks to accounts used by terrorist groups. The TTP investigation found that over a dozen accounts associated with sanctioned parties proudly sported the verification check marks, which can be acquired by anyone willing to pay the monthly subscription of $8 (£6.40).
