X, formerly known as Twitter, will begin charging new users for basic features such as posting messages, replying to tweets, and liking tweets. The new policy will initially apply to new users in New Zealand and the Philippines, with existing users in these countries being unaffected. New users will have to pay a one-time fee of $1 to create an account. X has stated that this move is aimed at reducing spam and bots on the platform, but its success remains to be seen.
