Twitter has begun removing blue ticks from older verified accounts in an effort to push the Twitter Blue ticks services.
Twitter has begun removing blue checkmarks from historical verified accounts, and it appears like all hell has broken loose. Beginning on Thursday, Elon Musk’s microblogging site began removing the coveted blue checkmark. Twitter users spotted the change late last night. As a result, thousands of journalists, lawmakers, and government officials around the world have had their blue ticks removed.
Several people have also recounted instances where the blue tick on their accounts has vanished and then reappeared. Twitter had originally planned to remove all blue ticks starting on April 1, but eventually decided to keep legacy accounts with a pop-up notice indicating that the account was either a historical verified account or a Twitter Blue subscriber.
Although a message explaining that their account is verified because they registered to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number was sent to certain individuals who still have a blue tick on their account
Interestingly, legacy accounts that have lost their blue ticks still have the ‘Verified’ link in the Notification section.
With the current development, it appears that many high-profile persons were losing the blue ticks that validated their identity and assisted them in dealing with impostors on the site. Twitter has finally began to implement Elon Musk’s policy of eliminating any blue ticks that have not paid the monthly charge to maintain them.
Under the previous blue-tick scheme, Twitter had over 3,000,000 verified users, the majority of whom were journalists, public personalities, athletes, government officials, and movie stars.
Among those who have lost their verified badges include Pope Francis, Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, former US President Donald Trump, Indian leaders Yogi Adityanath and Mamata Banerjee, and actor Shah Rukh Khan.
Twitter wants people to pay $8 per month for online, $1,000 per month for businesses, and an additional $50 per month for each affiliate or employee account.
We will begin shutting down our legacy verification process on 1 April’ 2023. This article covers the prior criteria for receiving a blue confirmed badge.
