X Policy Compliant
X Platform Compliance
checkmark is built to fully comply with X's policies. Here's the proof.
Last Updated: January 2026
Why Compliance Matters
Many platforms have been shut down for violating X's Terms of Service by paying for engagement (retweets, follows, likes). checkmark was designed from the ground up to be compliant. We pay for original content creation with proper disclosure - which is explicitly permitted by X's Paid Partnerships Policy.
Critical Policies
These two policies define what is prohibited and what is allowed. Read them carefully.
