Twitter Implements Verified Paywall for TweetDeck Access

Twitter has released a new version of TweetDeck, but after a 30-day trial period, only verified users, including Twitter Blue subscribers, verified organizations, and those gifted verification by Twitter, will be able to access the platform. The update includes features such as full composer functionality, Spaces, video docking, and polls, but Teams functionality is temporarily unavailable. The move comes after Elon Musk implemented rate limits on TweetDeck to prevent scraping, causing disruptions for users. Social media managers and brands may seek alternative platforms with better features as TweetDeck transitions to a paid product.
