X Cracking Down On Users Who Post AI-Generated Videos Of Armed Conflict | iHeart

"During times of war, it is critical that people have access to authentic information on the ground. With today's AI technologies, it is trivial to create content that can mislead people. Under the new policy, any creator who posts an AI-generated video of an armed conflict without clearly labeling it as AI-made will be suspended from X's Creator Revenue Sharing Program for 90 days."

"According to The Guardian, the policy update follows a wave of fake war footage that spread rapidly across X, Instagram, and Facebook. One fabricated clip showed Iranian rockets shooting down a US jet and was viewed 70 million times. Another used AI to replace smoke from a real missile strike with a much larger fake fireball."

"X says it will catch rule-breakers by scanning posts for metadata and other signals tied to generative AI tools, as well as through its crowdsourced fact-checking feature, Community Notes. The platform's Creator Revenue Sharing Program lets popular accounts earn money by sharing in advertising revenue."

X announced updated Creator Revenue Sharing policies to combat AI-generated misinformation about armed conflicts. Creators posting unlabeled AI videos of wars face 90-day suspension from the revenue program, with permanent bans for repeat offenses. The policy emerged after fake battle footage flooded social media following Iran's conflict, including a fabricated video of Iranian rockets downing a US jet viewed 70 million times. X will enforce the rule through metadata scanning and Community Notes fact-checking. The policy specifically targets war-related AI content, while political deepfakes and other AI misinformation outside conflict zones remain unaddressed.
