Stricter rules on Parody accounts enters X.

Since April 10, accounts that obstruct another user or person must use keywords such as “fake” or “parody” at the beginning of their account names.

The platform will also require the parody account holders to use different images in the X accounts that belong to those who want to represent.

Some users have complained of confusion caused by parody bills on the platform, such as those who play the owner of Ilon Musk.

“These changes are designed to help users better understand that these accounts are not linked to real“, The company said in a post on Saturday.

Encouraged Influencers’ accounts to update their profiles by the specified date.

The changes will also apply to fans’ accounts, he said.

“Hopefully this includes all thousands of fake variants of the Ilon Mask’s accounts“, One user wrote in response to X’s post about informing his policy.

There are several parody accounts for the platform owner, who identify themselves as fakes in various ways.

Posts shown by the BBC from Ilon Mask’s Parody accounts ranged from memes and anecdotes to promotion of cryptocurrencies and cars.

A recent post from a parody account by Ilon Musk, who has more than one million followers, told users to do “Like and Comment” and will have the opportunity to win a Tesla.

The post has received 428,000 likes and more than 200,000 answers.

X released labels for parody accounts in January.

These, as well as the platform blue verification system, have been mentioned as tools to prevent misleading forgery. However, the effectiveness of such measures has been disputed.

Tesla’s chief executive said that the accounts involved in fake label will be banned.

Many parody accounts in x become more specific by putting the word parody in brackets at the end of user names.

If the name of a parody account is particularly large and only a shortened version of flows or answers appears, users can unintentionally deceive – especially if the account image fits the real person.
