X May Soon Add ID Verification Checks For XBlue Subscribers

While X’s XBlue subscription offering has become more of an indicator of support for Elon Musk than anything else in the app, could it eventually become a more useful tool for combating bots and spam, as per its originally stated intention?

That could still become a bigger focus, with X experimenting with new ID verification elements, that would provide more assurance in the app.

As you can see in this example shared by app researcher Nima Owji, X is testing a new element that would enable XBlue subscribers to verify their government-issued ID.
