NEWS: X appears to be partnering with VeryAI, a palm biometrics company, to combat bots and AI accounts on the platform.
Accounts flagged for potential terms of service violations are shown a prompt to verify identity by scanning both palms. Re-verification requires just one scan.
X head of product Nikita Bier previously said biometric authentication would only be presented as an option for accounts auto-suspended for spam, not as a general platform requirement.
The feature was pulled from the latest X for iOS update and has not been officially announced.
