XImposes 90-Day Monetization Ban for Undisclosed AI-Generated War Videos

The policy targets only monetized accounts posting synthetic conflict footage, reducing financial incentives without removing such content.

Overview

  • Effective immediately, first-time violators lose access to X’s Creator Revenue Sharing for 90 days, with repeat offenses leading to permanent removal from the program.
  • Enforcement will be triggered by Community Notes, metadata, and other technical signals that indicate generative AI was used.
  • Posting AI-generated conflict videos remains allowed if creators apply X’s “Made with AI” disclosure, so the rule governs payouts rather than takedowns.
  • The change follows a surge of misleading synthetic clips tied to the U.S./IsraelIran crisis, including false claims about the USS Abraham Lincoln that U.S. Central Command rejected.
  • The company says it is testing broader synthetic-content labeling tools, while analysts note the move is narrow because it excludes non-monetized accounts and AI content outside armed conflicts.
