According to Twitter’s support page, “Not A Bot” is not intended to make a profit, but rather to act as a filter to reduce the amount of spam and bot activity — bots that automatically mimic people’s behaviors on social networks. The company said it would share the results of its anti-spam program.

It should be noted that the social network currently has a paid plan implemented by Elon Musk. OX Premium, also called Twitter Blue, offers benefits like a verified badge and access to new tools the company is developing. Currently, subscriptions start at R$42 per month.
