The colors of the new verification system are now discernible on Twitter. Multilateral organizations and government officials may now be distinguished on the microblogging site by the grey tick next to their names.
This new tendency has previously been addressed in certain profiles. In certain politician profiles, the previous blue tick is still discernible, signifying that it has not yet been fully applied. The company's CEO, Elon Musk, announced the debut of its new authentication mechanism on the microblogging website earlier this year. The colors of the new verification system are now noticeable on Twitter.
We apologize for the delay, but we plan to launch Verified on Friday of the next week, he said in a post. The SpaceX owner said, "Gold checks for businesses, grey checks for the government, blue checks for people (famous or not), and all confirmed accounts will be manually validated before check activation.
He has previously tweeted about the use of various colors for various organizations and people, but only later did he go into further depth. As the definition of "notable" is too subjective otherwise, all confirmed individual persons will have the same blue check, he tweeted.
The Verge reported that despite warnings from Twitter's trust and safety personnel, the microblogging platform's "Twitter Blue" subscriptions went live. Following that, several "verified" accounts started to imitate well-known figures or brands.
When a fake Nintendo account published a picture of the well-known video game character Mario giving the Twitter bird the middle finger, the uproar ensued.
There has also been the appearance of a second phony Twitter account for the pharmaceutical company "Eli Lilly." It has been tweeted that insulin is now free.
According to The Verge, this pushed a lot of advertisers away from the network. The US$7.99 service was subsequently canceled by Musk a few days after it was launched.
According to a tweet from Musk, who had taken matters into his own hands, any account that sought to imitate someone else would be removed unless its owner declared it to be a parody account.
Musk referred to the current method of multi-colored verification as "painful, but essential."
