is finally — maybe — ending its verification system for people who don’t pay starting Saturday.
Assuming the company actually goes through with it , the only way individuals could get “verified” on Twitter past this weekend is by coughing up a monthly fee., the paid subscription, will run you $10 a month for web and $15 for iOS and Android. While scores of users and celebrities say they won’t pay to extend their verification, onlookers are raising concerns over the move’s implications for security and impersonation. The tale of pharmaceutical company
after a paid, “verified” account promised free insulin over Twitter, is still fresh in the memories of many.The death of legacy verification was long in the making, listed as one of the first major changes proposed by self-described “free speech absolutist” Elon Musk when he bought the company for $44 billion last year.— which originally served to distinguish celebrities, politicians and other notables from copycat accounts — as being one “of lords & peasants.
well.. as long as I can do this in the comment sections there might be hope to becoming mayor as long as people read the comments.
I’ve never paid and never will.
Good leave Twitter no one cares . The only ones that care are journalists !
I mean people like JustinTrudeau pablorodriguez and marcomendicino all have blue marks but are know liars. Yet they have blue ticks. Paid by taxpayers. They should pay on their own

I wouldn't give elon a drop of piss to use this platform now.
Made money before when it was free. If it's not broke dont fix it.
I FULLY support Twitter Blue and Twitters decision to implement, if you don't have a blue check next to your name, I'm just going to assume you are a bot. Sub-Human. I will not dignify a bot scum with a human response. If you aren't paying for Twitter Blue, then you do not belong…
Lol.
