Twitter to Remove Blue Checkmarks Unless Users Pay for Verification
TL;DR
Twitter will remove blue check marks, once used to denote notable accounts whose identities had been verified, unless users pay $8 a month. Elon Musk said he would expand a preexisting paid version of Twitter to include paying for a blue check mark. Organizations can verify their accounts for $1,000 a month, while affiliate organizations can receive a check mark for $50. Musk's new plan for blue check marks could lead to confusion on the app about whether accounts truly have their identities verified.
