New Delhi, Oct. 13 -- X is stepping up its fight against spam. The platform has removed 1.7 million bots that were flooding replies with spammy or irrelevant content, according to Head of Product Nikita Bier.

In a post shared on Monday on X, Bier tweeted, "This week we purged 1.7 million bots engaging in reply spam. You should start noticing improvements in the coming days. We will be focusing on DM spam next."

X has not detailed how the 1.7 million bots were detected or removed, though the company has increasingly leaned on automation and behavioural analysis tools to flag suspicious accounts.
