Formerly known as Twitter, the social media platform X has announced a strategic partnership with Israeli-based technology company Au10tix, "aiming to enhance its identity verification process."
This collaboration will introduce a new biometric authentication feature, requiring users to provide a selfie along with a photo of a government-issued identification document.
While the biometric verification feature is currently being rolled out as a service exclusively for premium users, its future application to the wider user base remains uncertain.
X’s decision to integrate this advanced identity verification method follows their imposition of monthly subscription fees for verified users, which came into effect in November 2022.
