Twitter starts pulling legacy blue verification checkmarks
for a while, and now it's acting on that plan. The social network has begun removing the original blue ticks from users' profiles — formerly verified staff at Engadget can confirm this. From now on, you'll need to pay $8 per month for Blue to get that symbol back. Businesses can receive a gold checkmark without a subscription, while government and multilateral organization accounts get a gray checkmark.
The company introduced verification in 2009 to reduce the potential for impersonation, and focused on well-established people in areas like politics, entertainment and the media. When Elon Musk bought Twitter in 2022, however, he there were too many"corrupt" verified accounts and that it was necessary to drop the legacy system. He characterized Blue as a way to democratize checkmarks.
