Twitter Revokes Legacy Blue Checkmarks, Leaving Only Paying Subscribers with Verification
TL;DR
Twitter is ending its verification system that gave blue check marks to notable accounts, which will be replaced by Twitter Blue, a subscription service launched last year. The $8-per-month service allows users to edit and undo tweets and doesn't require accounts to be notable. The verification system will be phased out starting April 1.
