One of the changes made after Elon Musk took over Twitter is the blue tick application. Elon Musk, who made the use of blue ticks for a fee, started using the yellow tick application to distinguish fake and real accounts.
Fake Disney account got yellow tick
In the new application, accounts with golden or yellow ticks are considered official entities approved by Twitter. It turned out that the account on which Twitter added a yellow approval badge to its profile was fake. The reason for this confusion has not yet been revealed.

It turned out that a fake Disney account was accidentally given a yellow tick in the case that was noticed by a Twitter user. It is unknown how the yellow tick, issued via the Blue for Business system, was received by the @DisneyJuniorUK account. The aforementioned account is suspended during this process.
The number of followers of the Twitter account, which received a checkmark, managed to increase from 1,400 to over 4,700 in a short time. This reveals the effect of having verified accounts on the number of followers. Twitter, on the other hand, made a big mistake by giving approval to this fake account, albeit for a short time.
Twitter normally offers corporate endorsement badges for $1,000 per month. It also demands $50 for each additional account the company has. Twitter, on the other hand, seems to have somehow approved this fake account, even though there was no application from Disney.
It is a matter of curiosity what action Twitter will take after this mistake. It is thought that there may be other accounts on the social media platform that incorrectly receive a yellow tick like this one. Twitter, on the other hand, will re-check the accounts it has approved after this mistake.
Twitter is going through a significant change process with the takeover of Elon Musk. The policies of the social media platform are being discussed more and more every day. So what do you think about this subject? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
