Twitter he changed his plans again subscription premiums paid. Twitter Blue will no longer debut later this month as originally planned. The social network has yet to figure out what to do to prevent the problem of impersonating VIPs, politicians and corporations from happening again.
“We have been launching Blue verified until we have more certainty about our strategy to stop identity theft,” he explained Elon Musk. “We will likely use different colored check marks to identify companies and individuals.”
Social media’s biggest concern is protecting businesses. The launch of Twitter Blue has had disastrous consequences precisely because numerous trolls have used the paid blue check to impersonate public companies, causing massive economic damage.
The most emblematic case is against identity theft Eli Lilly, American pharmaceutical giant. “From now on theinsulin is offered free of charge“. Immediately after the report appeared, the company plummeted on the stock exchange. Too bad the tweet didn’t come from Ely Lilli’s official account, but that of a troll who bought a blue tick and successfully impersonated the behemoth.
Twitter is working on a way to prevent such incidents from happening again. For example, the company may ban accounts less than 90 days old from purchasing Twitter Blue.
