Reversal: Twitter indefinitely postponed payment for verification

“Blue Verified relaunch is postponed until there is a high level of confidence to stop phishing”Musk detailed in his account on his social network.

In this sense, the tycoon anticipated that a different color verification will probably be used for organizations than for individuals.

Musk’s decision comes after several days in which users of the social network who had chosen to pay $7.99 a month had indicated that they could not access the functions of Twitter Blue, reviewed Europa Press.

The new payment model proposed by the billionaire would have been suspended after allowing countless users to acquire verification to impersonate entities of recognized prestige, damaging the reputation of companies or public figures.

As it was doing until it stopped working, Twitter Blue includes additional features that only its subscribers can access, including customizing the icon of the app itself and the theme of your account, activating Reader Mode or creating folders of saved items from the profile, as well as early access to functions under test, such as editing tweets. The subscription also offers fewer ads.

However, one of the main changes is the meaning of the blue check mark. The badge no longer only referred to accounts verified as being “active, notable, and authentic,” but also indicated that the account had an active subscription to Twitter Blue, as the company explains on its dedicated subscription page.
