    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    After Elon Musk hinted last month that X could start charging all users, the company (formerly known as Twitter) announced a test of such a system.

    The test will apply only to new web accounts, and the fee will be waived if users sign up for X’s $3.99 per month premium subscription service.

    New users in the testing region who opt out of premium and the annual subscription will only be able to read posts, watch videos and follow accounts — but not interact on the platform.

    It also comes after Musk made a vague statement in a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last month suggesting he could start charging all users.

    The European Commission last week formally opened an investigation into X after a previous warning about disinformation and illegal content on its platform linked to the conflict.

    “X is… addressing identified fake and manipulated content during this constantly evolving and shifting crisis,” X CEO Linda Yaccarino said in a letter to EU Commissioner Thiery Breton last week.
