Fake accounts increased
The blue checkmark was previously featured on verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities, journalists and other public figures. However, earlier this week, Musk introduced the subscription option for anyone who pays (including bot accounts, parody accounts, and even fake accounts).
The ‘official’ tag is back on verified accounts
Musk paused the blue tick subscription service with $ 8, which he announced recently, after the proliferation of fake accounts. The “official” badge was given back to some accounts on the social media platform.
Twitter’s support account with the official hashtag states, “We’ve added the official tag to some accounts to combat those who create fake accounts.” made the statement. It is not known when the Twitter Blue subscription will be activated again.
