X is introducing new rules to combat impersonation on its platform. Parody, fan, and commentary accounts will need to clearly identify themselves to avoid confusion and potential harm. This follows previous controversies surrounding X's verification system.
New rules for parody, fan, and commentary accounts on X starting April 10th, 2025.
Accounts must use prefixes like "fake," "parody," etc., in their display names.
Profile pictures cannot be the same as the person or organization being impersonated.
