Multiple large X accounts have shared an alleged email stating they’ll need to “verify their ID” to continue receiving payouts on the platform. For ID verification, creators must provide their government-issued ID and biometric data. The information provided by creators would be sent to AU10TIX, an identify verification company based in Israel. “In order to be monetized on X beginning July 1st, users will have to give Israeli intelligence company AU10TIX access to their government-issued ID and biometric data,” AF Post writes. “The founder of AU10TIX, Ron Atzmon, is a retired member of the IDF’s clandestine unit 8200, which provides Israel with 90% of its intelligence material,” the outlet added.

There is a zero percent chance I’m giving Israeli intelligence my government ID & biometric data so I can stay monetized on this platform. It’s a shame, too –– I’d been considering opening a subscription & posting much more content on it. Oh well,” Sovereign Brah said. “This app has officially become a honeypot operation for Israeli intelligence. Moving forward, if you want to make money on X, you’ll need to give your government ID to a company run by ‘former’ Israeli intelligence members. Unreal. All creators need to speak up about this,” he added. Just got this email from @X.
