X Halts Creator Revenue Change Amid Global Backlash

• Elon Musk's X paused its planned creator revenue update after user pushback, especially from those with international audiences.
• The proposed change aimed to prioritize ad revenue from a user's home country, moving away from global impressions.
• X intended the update to reduce manipulation, particularly after a location transparency feature revealed many political accounts operated from outside their target regions.
• Creators argued the policy would unfairly reduce earnings for those reaching global audiences, especially English-speaking content creators.
• The pause allows X to reconsider its approach, highlighting the challenge of balancing fairness with efforts to prevent misuse on global platforms.
