X (Twitter) has introduced a dislike button on replies as of March 18, coinciding with a surge in phishing scams targeting users. The new feature, which appears as a broken heart or thumbs-down icon, is part of X's efforts to enhance content ranking by suppressing low-quality replies. However, the rollout is uneven, with some regions like East Africa experiencing delays in access.
Amid these changes, phishing emails impersonating X have emerged, exploiting user confusion. These scams use fake "Content Violation" notices to harvest personal data, with deceptive domains making them hard to distinguish from legitimate communications. Security analysts warn users to be vigilant during this transition period.
X's Head of Product, Nikita Bier, indicated that the financial incentive for spamming on the platform will significantly decrease within 30 days. Despite these efforts, issues like DM spam remain unresolved, highlighting ongoing challenges in X's spam control measures.
