The waters have not calmed down for Twitter since Elon Musk bought it. This time, the famous businessman threatened to permanently close fake accounts that were opened to impersonate someone else. But there is a way for Elon Musk not to close parody accounts on Twitter. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Elon Musk will not close fake accounts on Twitter if it is stated that they are parody!
Before buying Twitter, Elon Musk stated that he wanted the platform to be a free and digital city. The businessman announced that after the purchase, he would close all fake accounts and switch to the identity verification system. Musk thinks that this way he will be more comfortable on the social platform.
Elon Musk also gave a blue tick for eight dollars in order to both make money for the company and do what they want. But in this case, there was literally chaos with everyone buying blue ticks, including fake accounts. Then the Official Account phrase was introduced to distinguish celebrities, content creators and brands from fake accounts.
Elon Musk finally announced that fake accounts will be closed to solve this situation radically. However, if it is stated that these Twitter accounts are parody, they will not be closed and will continue to take place on the platform.
The Twitter owner also recently announced that there will be different colored badges for the accounts. According to the famous businessman, there will be a gold badge for companies, a gray badge for government agencies, and a blue badge for individuals, whether they are famous or not. Verified accounts will be set up manually before the new badge system starts.
