Twitter's Blue Tick Verification System Sparks Controversy Among Celebrities and Prominent Personalities

The Twitter accounts of deceased celebrities, including Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Boseman, Mac Miller, and Anthony Bourdain, are being marked as subscribers of the platform's new Twitter Blue service, causing confusion for users after legacy verification check marks were removed from accounts last week. Twitter Blue requires an $8 monthly subscription for users to obtain a verification check mark, while organizations can pay $1,000 monthly for a gold verification mark, and government or multilateral organizations and officials can get a grey mark.

Twitter's 'legacy' verified check marks to be removed on 4/20, but skepticism remains.

Elon Musk has confirmed that the final deadline for Twitter to remove 'legacy' blue ticks will be April 20, 2023, and the only way to keep the tick after then is to subscribe to Twitter Blue. The blue tick on Twitter used to indicate an account that was notable or authentic, but under Musk's ownership, the blue tick means an account holder is paying for its subscription service Twitter Blue. Musk has also rolled out new gold and grey ticks to indicate verified businesses and government bodies, respectively, and is charging £1,000 per month for them.
