The social media platform X announced a 90-day suspension from its Creator Revenue Sharing program for users posting AI-generated videos of armed conflicts without disclosure.
The move comes amid the ongoing war between the United States, Israel, and Iran.
X’s head of product, Nikita Bier, said the policy aims to protect information authenticity during wartime.
“Current AI technologies make it trivial to create content that can mislead people,” Bier noted, emphasizing the importance of providing authentic updates on the ground.
The policy requires creators to clearly disclose AI-generated content depicting conflict.
Repeat violations could result in permanent removal from the revenue-sharing program, which compensates eligible users with a portion of advertising revenue generated by their posts.
Violations will be detected using Community Notes—X’s crowd-sourced fact-checking systemalongside metadata and other technical signals embedded in AI-generated content.
This represents a notable shift for X, which since its acquisition by Elon Musk in October 2022 has largely relaxed content moderation policies and faced criticism for its approach to misinformation.
The platform said it will continue refining its rules to maintain trust during critical moments of conflict.
