X Platform Develops Link-Blocking Feature to Combat Reply Spam

Elon Musk’s X is working on a feature that will allow users to disable links in responses to their posts. This initiative, identified by app researcher Nima Owji and confirmed by Christopher Stanley, X’s senior director of security engineering, aims to reduce the volume of spam on the platform. The feature is currently not accessible to most users, and it is uncertain whether it will be limited to Premium subscribers or made available to a wider audience.
