Amid all the news that Twitter was being acquired by Elon Musk, the social network would be gearing up for a service subscription, and with that It is intended to reduce the number of ads appearing on the platform and thus start charging for account verification.
(
According to The Verge, Musk wants to charge verified users $20 per month and will be part of a paid service called Twitter Blue, which currently costs $4.99 per month.
The service will be known on November 7, and if the engineers don’t get it into service by that date, they will face being fired. They were also informed about the project on October 30th.
There are nearly 400,000 verified users on Twitter, and with bot reports suggesting they make up five percent of all users, Musk thinks less than 16 million users will see the vast majority of ads on the platform. In this sense.
The businessman said that at the moment the entire verification process is being renewed and While Twitter Blue is currently only available in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, It is unknown what will happen in countries where the payment service is not yet activated.
According to Mashable, once the platform’s new policy goes into effect, verified users will only have 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue tick.
Musk’s acquisition of Twitter has caused many users to test the platform and the businessman’s promise of “free speech.”
Changes in control are expected so that the content can be used by minors.
In this sense, the businessman considered the possibility of presenting different versions of Twitter according to different options by age.
The businessman explained that the films would be like his recommendations: PG (with parental supervision) and R (over 18 years).
Even Musk got into controversy over the veracity of the tweets, before a New York Times story accused him of linking to a false story about the attack on Paul Pelosi in San Francisco.
The headline was: “Elon Musk, in a tweet, shares a link to a site known for publishing fake news.” Musk joked: “This is fake: I didn’t *tweet* a link to the New York Times.”
