"The Impact of Twitter's Blue Check Verification System on Users and Elon Musk"
TL;DR Summary
A bug on Twitter is causing legacy blue check holders to briefly get their badge back if they update their bio, regardless of the text added. The check disappears upon refreshing the page, and it's unclear if anyone else can see it. Twitter still retains code that shows legacy verified users, so the bug is likely caused by a glitch involving those internal designations.
