Musk says Twitter to hold off relaunching blue check verification
Nov 21 (Reuters) – Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk said on
Monday the social media company is holding off the relaunch of
its blue check subscription service, a delay from his initial
tentative timeline to bring back the service on the platform.
“Holding off relaunch of Blue Verified until there is high
confidence of stopping impersonation,” Musk said in a tweet.
“Will probably use different color check for organizations
than individuals.”
The coveted blue check mark was previously reserved for
verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities,
journalists and other public figures.
