The founder of ElizaOS accuses X of extortion for demanding high licensing fees to unfreeze the account and states that they are considering whether to take legal action.

Odaily News ElizaOS founder Shaw posted on Farcaster stating: "X (Twitter) contacted me, claiming that we violated certain terms of service, including selling data and selling certain content by bypassing the API Secret Key." We have never done this, we did not in the past, and we will never do so in the future. They directly cited my open-source code as the reason for the ban - but that's not even mainly my own code, it's just a patchwork of other open-source projects. They stated that if we pay $50,000 per month for the enterprise license, they will stop the harassment. We currently pay $1,000 per month for Yellow Label certification and $200 per month for developer licensing. Why does switching to a corporate account change my rights to publish open source code? This is blatant extortion and should not be legal. I do not want to be a part of this system; it completely goes against my principles. Considering whether to resort to legal means.
