X added a minimum user age of 16 in Australia to comply with Social Media Minimum Age (SMMA) requirements, implementing multi-layered age verification including self-attestation, ID verification, email-based estimation, and AI-verified government IDs.

X has restructured its Civic Integrity policy, expanding civic processes to explicitly include political elections, censuses, major referendums, and ballot initiatives.

X has updated its merchandise sales rules, removing the requirement for US-based businesses, allowing state-affiliated media to sell merchandise, opening sales to X Premium accounts (previously restricted to Professional Accounts), and permitting local currency pricing instead of US dollars only.

X now requires creators to have an active paid subscription to qualify for monetization.

X (formerly Twitter) has introduced a prohibition on iframing content in its Developer Terms, forbidding the embedding of X content on external websites.

In the Reverse Engineering and other Restrictions of use, X’s developer terms strictly banned using the X API or X Content to fine-tune or train a foundation or frontier model
