I asked @grok about paid advertising. What happens if someone intentionally does not check the box (concealing paid promotion)?

The likelihood of being caught is increasing, especially now that new features have been launched and enforcement has been significantly strengthened:
👉 Detection methods:
Other users reporting (X has a dedicated paid promotion reporting channel)
Community Notes for additional clarification
X manual review + behavior pattern detection (such as大量 affiliate links, frequent interactions with brands, obvious promotional style, etc.)
High-level executives personally stepping in (Nikita Bier has publicly called for full disclosure multiple times, otherwise threatening account bans)
👉 Consequences (according to the official 《Paid Partnerships Policy》 + new regulations):
First offense: automatic warning + request to delete the post / add disclosure
Repeated or serious violations: post removal + account throttling / read-only mode (cannot post)
Severe cases: account suspension or even permanent ban
Especially targeting sensitive areas like crypto, prediction markets, gambling, etc., enforcement is even stricter (recent policies have explicitly banned paid collaborations in many categories)
Retail investors should pay close attention now—report any accounts in the crypto industry that deliberately do not disclose paid ads. One report per account, and all will be reported!
