The Fallout of Twitter's Verification Changes.

The White House will not pay for staffers to have their official Twitter accounts continue to be verified under Twitter's new rules, which require users to sign up for a Twitter Blue subscription for $8 per month to keep their verified status. White House officials have become accustomed to having verified accounts to ensure that their messages are received by the public as trustworthy. However, the government will not pick up the tab for their Twitter Blue subscriptions. Twitter CEO Elon Musk previously promised to change how Twitter verification works, citing a need for users on the platform to be treated equally.
