X Corp. filed a lawsuit on September 17, accusing Vivek Kumar Sen, Zamyang Sherpa, and unnamed operators of manipulating interactions through a coordinated network of accounts to defraud creators of their earnings. The company stated that the move aims to protect its creator monetization program and deter more users from emulating such behavior. X Corp. has begun replacing the disputed creator monetization program with its "Original Content Rewards" program, which started accepting applications on September 8 and excludes replicated content.
