X charging new users in two countries R19 for basic features
X, the social network formerly known as Twitter, began testing a $1 (R19) annual subscription fee for new accounts on the web that want to post or interact with other users, saying the measure has the potential to reduce spam, automated bot accounts and manipulation of its service.
The test, called “Not a Bot,” rolled out in New Zealand and the Philippines, X said in a blog post Tuesday.
