TL;DR Summary

Twitter's verification process under Elon Musk's ownership mistakenly verified an explicit account claiming to be linked to Disney. The account, @DisneyJuniorUK, had a gold verification badge, which is used to confirm the legitimacy of official organizations on the social media site. The account has since been suspended, but it had tweeted explicit content and fake announcements. This incident comes after Twitter stripped all verified users of their blue badges unless they opted to pay for subscription service Twitter Blue, causing concerns about imitations of prolific users.
