The company announced that the plan went into effect in New Zealand and Philippines on Tuesday.
Owner Elon Musk has been considering the move for months, Fortune reported.
“It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots,” he said during a talk last month with Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel.
Many X users were unhappy with the decision.
“It won’t work. Many will leave twitter,” one said.
“If he does that, many users will leave, and advertising revenue will get even worse,” another added.
“Outtie 5000 I’m done. This months bad idea. At least he is consistent,” a different commenter said.
The U.S. Sun reached out to X for comment.
“Busy now, please check back later,” the company replied.
