The Not A Bot subscription provides access to key functions including tweeting, replying, retweeting, and liking. New accounts created in these countries will first be required to verify their phone number, and then pay the $1 annual fee to be able to post, like, reply, repost, quote posts and bookmark.
New users who opt out of subscribing will only be able to take “read only” actions, such as: read posts, watch videos, and follow accounts.
This new programme aims to defend against bots and spammers who attempt to manipulate the platform and disrupt the experience of other X users. The terms and conditions say the new charge is a beta programme, and users who sign up must agree to a recurring subscription payment.
