As you know, the Twitter Blue subscription is now priced at $ 8 and the account of everyone who subscribes is approved by getting the “blue tick” badge. The problem here is that troll or bot accounts can also get blue ticks. Therefore, to clear up this confusion, Twitter has recently introduced the “gray tick” badge and the “official” phrase to distinguish Twitter Blue subscribers from officially verified accounts. Oddly enough, this feature was taken down hours after it was launched. Now it has been reactivated.open-close-open
There is no application or subscription option to get the Twitter gray tick and official badge of approval. Twitter said, “To combat impersonation, we’ve added an “Official” tag to some accounts. makes a statement. Therefore, the gray tick is only given to accounts by Twitter. As far as we can see, gray official badges are not active for all politicians, governments or companies for now. The gray badge appears on brands, companies, or publications such as Coca-Cola, Nintendo of America, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Wired.Which is the real account?
Twitter Blue no longer essentially includes any authentication. The service is in an optional subscription status that only provides a blue check badge and access to certain features. Therefore, even fake accounts that impersonate an official institution, company or person can be seen as “approved” by getting a blue tick. At this point, it becomes even more difficult for users to distinguish whether an account is real or fake.In the past, it was announced that the player requested a trade from the approved fake LeBron James account. A lot of legitimate-looking fake accounts like this one had surfaced. Twitter had found the solution in closing these accounts, but the gray check badge can dispel such illusions.
On the other hand, Elon Musk said that accounts posing as parody from now on should have the word “parody” not only in their biographies, but also in their names. This has been part of Twitter’s policy for years, but we anticipate that the website will now enforce the rule more strictly in light of recent events.
