X rolls out verified-only reply feature amidst concerns over misinformation and harassment

X has introduced an option to restrict replies to verified accounts only, available to all users.
This change aims to reduce spam bots, harassment, and misinformation according to X CEO Elon Musk.
Critics argue the move could limit engagement and visibility for most users on the platform.
The new verified-only reply feature provides another incentive for users to purchase X's paid verification service.
This update comes as X continues to face scrutiny over its approach to content moderation under Musk's ownership.
