Twitter/X Implements Arkose Challenge as Anti-Bot Verification Test

The Arkose challenge is like a futuristic version of CAPTCHA, designed to separate humans from autonomous bots. It’s a peculiar test that requires rearranging symbols or aligning objects to match up. But don’t be fooled, it’s not as easy as it seems. You have to get several correct in a row, so make sure to clean off any chicken grease before attempting it.

If you want to see what you might face if your account starts acting strange or you violate X’s terms of use, you can try the Arkose challenge. This technology aligns with Musk’s vision to eliminate spam bots from X, and it was actually being implemented before his takeover.

A quick search for “Arkose challenge” on X reveals that very few people are familiar with this anti-bot technology. Most posts about it express confusion and frustration, and there have been some loading issues as well.

But let’s not forget the bigger picture. It may be time for a new “I am not a robot” test, as bots are becoming better at proving they’re human than actual humans. CAPTCHA tests may no longer be effective, which is where the Arkose challenge comes in. Let’s see how the bots fare against this one.
