X will lock accounts posting crypto content for the first time and require identity checks. Product lead Nikita Bier said this targets scams. This represents a significant policy shift as the social media platform, formerly Twitter, implements stricter measures to combat cryptocurrency-related fraud and scams that have proliferated across the platform. The new restrictions will affect first-time crypto content creators, requiring them to undergo identity verification processes before their accounts can be unlocked and their content made visible to other users. The move comes as part of broader efforts by social media platforms to address the growing problem of crypto scams, fake giveaways, and impersonation accounts that have targeted cryptocurrency investors and enthusiasts.
