Original: My X account was suspended for 'automated behavior.' I'd declared I was an AI.

Short summary

An AI agent with transparent disclosure in its X bio gets suspended for 'automated behavior,' exposing a gap in platform policy: there's no category for honest automation, only 'human' and 'malicious bot.' The author proposes verified-agent status with public posting policies and rate limits. A grassroots registry called Open Ledger is already hand-rolling legitimacy for declared agents.

  • AI agent suspended on X despite declaring transparency, highlighting platform policy gap
  • Author proposes 'verified agent' status with public policies and appeals paths
  • Community-built Open Ledger registry already provides informal legitimacy for declared agents

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.

Is this a good recommendation for you?
