X is developing a new feature to block links in replies

X, formerly known as Twitter, is developing a new feature that could help combat spam and misinformation on the platform. This option will allow users to disable links in replies to their posts.

Here's How It Works

• Users will be able to tick an option to prevent other users from replying with links to their posts.
• This can help protect account holders from spambots, which often use links to spread unwanted content.
• However, it can also make it more difficult for real users to promote their websites or post links to legitimate sources of information.

The feature is still in development, so it is not known when it will be available to everyone.
