AI Overview

As of early 2026, X (formerly Twitter) is facing intense scrutiny regarding the monetization of war footage and conflict-related content, with new policies targeting AI-generated imagery and misinformation

 

Here are the key details regarding the situation:

New Demonetization Rules (March 2026): X has announced a policy to suspend users for 90 days if they post AI-generated videos of armed conflicts without clear disclosure, with repeat violations leading to permanent removal from the revenue-sharing program.

Monetizing Misinformation: Despite these changes, reports indicate that influencers and accounts, including those spreading misinformation about conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, have been able to monetize content on X by leveraging the platformโ€™s ad revenue-sharing system.

Graphic Content & Disputes: X has been criticized for not removing graphic, violent, or false war footage, with CEO Elon Musk challenging government orders to take down such content.

Verification and Revenue: Verified users, who often gain more visibility on the platform, have been able to profit from viral, sometimes inaccurate, war-related videos, prompting concerns from watchdog groups about the platform amplifying "liars and hate actors".

False Footage Trends: Much of the flagged content includes repurposed, old footage from other conflicts (e.g., Syria) or video game footage being presented as real-time combat, often aimed at creating "WW3" fear-mongering for engagement.
