X is rolling out a built-in "Paid Partnership" label that creators can apply to sponsored posts, replacing the hashtag workarounds they've had to rely on until now.

Before today, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had threatened to label Anthropic a "supply chain risk" if it did not agree to withdraw safeguards that insist Claude not be used for mass surveillance against Americans or in fully autonomous weapons.
