Jan 10, 2025, 05:13 AM

X, the social network owned by Elon Musk, has begun rolling out labels for parody and satire accounts to differentiate them from other accounts. This initiative aims to increase transparency and prevent users from being misled by parody content. The labels, which are now live on Android, will be visible on both accounts and posts, and accounts must apply the label themselves through the settings menu. X plans to make these labels mandatory for parody accounts in the future to ensure compliance and reduce confusion among users.
