Twitter to Remove Legacy Verified Checkmarks on April 1st

Twitter will begin phasing out its legacy verified program and removing blue checkmarks from some verified users starting April 1. Those who wish to retain their blue checkmarks will have to switch to Twitter Blue, a subscription service that costs $7 per month for an annual plan or $8 per month for a monthly plan. Organizations can get verification through Twitter's Verified Organizations program for a monthly payment of $1,000. Elon Musk, who acquired Twitter in October, has expressed plans to get rid of legacy blue checkmarks in the past.
