Musk says Twitter’s verification system was flawed, and that everyone should be able to get verified, instead of facing an opaque process that decides whether they are worthy of blue tick mark or not. Musk claims that the process was “corrupt and nonsensical.” Twitter’s support pages currently don’t offer any clarity about when the badge removal will start for legacy verified accounts. The mercurial Tesla chief, who was viciously booed on stage at a Dave Chapelle show over the weekend, previously said that a Twitter Blue subscription is mandatory for keeping that badge. Verified accounts will have a grace period, and if they don’t pay the Twitter Blue fee in due time, they will lose the check mark.
For legacy accounts that lose their verified status, they will be able to get it back if they subscribe to Twitter Blue, which relaunched earlier today. In doing so, however, their profile page will tell others that the badge comes from paying the Twitter Blue fee, and not because they are notable or famous. In a nutshell, it’s a lose-lose deal. It would hurt iPhone users even more, because Twitter Blue will cost $11 per month, if the fee is paid via the iOS app. Musk is passing the Apple App Store tax to users, because the premier tier of Twitter was reportedly turning out to be a loss-making idea for the company.
