In recent days, Twitter has been met with widespread criticism over its plan to change the meaning of the blue check mark away from identifying confirmed individuals, particularly public figures.
Twitter on Saturday launched a subscription service for $7.99 a month that includes a blue check now given to verified accounts.said Tuesday evening that to resolve ambiguity about which accounts on its platform have been identity-verified - as opposed to those simply paying $8 a month for a blue check mark on their profiles - the company will introduce a new, gray check mark as part of an "official" label.
A visit to Twitter's currently live profile did not display the gray check mark, suggesting the feature has not yet been implemented. "Not all previously verified accounts will get the 'Official' label and the label is not available for purchase," Crawford tweeted. "Accounts that will receive it include government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, publishers and some public figures."
Crawford also confirmed that the forthcoming option to pay for a blue check mark will not include an identity verification requirement.In recent days, Twitter has been met with widespread criticism over its plan to change the meaning of the blue check mark away from identifying confirmed individuals, particularly public figures, toward a new meaning signifying that a user has paid for Twitter Blue, the company's subscription service.
