Golden Finance reports that Ai16z founder Shaw recently stated that the X platform accused him of violating the terms of service, claiming that he sold data and bypassed the API 密钥. The platform indicated that if he pays a corporate licensing fee of $50,000 per month, they will no longer pursue the matter. The founder denies these accusations, stating that the X platform incorrectly used his Open Source 源代码 as a reason for the ban, describing it as blatant extortion. Currently, he only pays a verification fee of $1,000 per month and a developer licensing fee of $200, and is considering whether to take legal action.
