TL;DR

Elon Musk's Twitter has begun removing blue verification check marks from users who have not signed up for its subscription service, with the checks disappearing from the accounts of journalists, academics, and celebrities. The change threatens to create an even greater risk of impersonation of high-profile users and confusion over the veracity of information on the platform. Musk said users would have to pay $8 per month to join the platform's Twitter Blue subscription service to stay verified.
