The Center for Countering Digital Hate said it had received a letter from X, Twitter’s parent company, accusing it of trying to hurt the social platform with its research.
Less than a month after sharing ad revenue with select verified creators, Twitter — now rebranded as X — has made its “Ads Revenue Sharing” program available for all eligible creators across the globe. “Today is the day,” tweeted X, instructing creators to set up payouts from within Monetization to get compensated for posting content.
The X started appearing at the top of the desktop version of Twitter on Monday, but the bird was still dominant across the smartphone app. In response to questions about what tweets would be called when the rebranding is done, Musk said they would be called Xs.
Twitter rebranding as “X” spells chaos for news organizations that have spent over a decade cultivating their brands on the platform. In a sequence of cryptic latenight tweets, Twitter owner Elon Musk announced that the company would be rebranded as “X” and adopt a new logo to replace its iconic bird icon. Musk even suggested blowtorching the Twitter logo off company buildings.
