X is working on a way to block links in replies

X is developing a new feature that could help address spam posts on its website.

According to Nima Owji, an independent app researcher who's unearthed several unreleased X features in the past, the platform formerly known as Twitter is working on the ability to disable links in replies. In addition to keeping spam bots away, the feature could also prevent real human users from promoting their websites in other people's posts. Owji previously found that X was experimenting with an in-app currency that's meant to help creators earn money from the platform.
