According to ChainCatcher, ElizaOS founder Shaw posted on Farcaster stating: 'X contacted me, claiming we violated certain terms of service, including selling data and selling certain content by bypassing API keys. We have never done this, not in the past and never will in the future. They directly cited my open-source code as the reason for the ban—but that isn’t even mostly my code, it's just a patchwork of other open-source projects.'
Shaw wrote, 'They said that if we pay $50,000 a month for the enterprise license, they would stop harassing us. Currently, we pay $1,000 a month for yellow label certification and $200 for developer licenses. Why should switching to an enterprise account change my right to publish open-source code? This is blatant extortion and should not be legal. I do not want to be part of this system as it completely goes against my principles. I am considering whether to resort to legal means.'
According to previous reports, the official X account of ElizaOS @elizaOS and its founder Shaw's account @shawmakesmagic have both been frozen.
