Elon Musk’s X has paid $20m to creators

Formerly known as Twitter, X, has paid nearly $20 million to creators according to a post from X CEO Linda Yaccarino.

Z began paying creators in July for a share of the ad revenue they earned from ads served in replies from to posts. Eligible creators had to have subscribed to X Premium and have more than 500 followers with more than 5 million tweet impressions for the last three months.

The first payments accumulated to $5 million, Elon Musk said, from February onwards.

Creators are also now incentivized to get users to reply to their tweets, as more are driven to subscribe to premium and win a share of the ad revenue from the company.

Google rolls out passkeys across its services

Google has announced that it will now use passkeys across all its services in order to move forward to a more 'passwordless future'. Users can choose to log into their Google accounts and use passkey logins alongside passwords and 2-step verification methods. Google is striving to eliminate putting in passwords altogether, which has also prompted Apple to follow suit as well. Passkeys are cryptographic keys associated with a device to confirm the identity of the user, consisting of a public and private pair. The former is registered with the service and the latter is stored securely in the user's device.

According to Google, with passkeys users can access various accounts by just unlocking their phone through biometrics. While passkey support was available fo...
