X introduces new parody label for accounts to enhance transparency

X, formerly known as Twitter, is introducing a new label for parody accounts to improve transparency. Users can currently add this label voluntarily, but it may become mandatory in the future. Previously, the blue checkmark indicated verified accounts, helping users identify authentic profiles. After Elon Musk's changes, the verification system became less effective, leading to an increase in fake accounts. The new parody labels aim to help users distinguish between real and fake accounts. This development reflects a return to a clearer system, though the overall verification process remains complicated.
