The recent change that has taken place on Twitter's platform, now called "X," has been the cause of much confusion on the part of users, contributors, and companies involved.

The French international news agency, Agence France-Presse, recently stated that it is pursuing a Copyright lawsuit against the platform in question in an attempt to obtain potential payment for the use of its journalistic content.
