Twitter to remove the blue tick from accounts without Twitter Blue subscription
24-03-2023
Twitter will begin removing blue ticks from accounts that have not subscribed to Twitter Blue from April 1, 2023.
The blue tick is a symbol of verification on Twitter that indicates the authenticity of an account.
Twitter Blue is a paid subscription service that offers features such as ad-free browsing, access to exclusive content, and improved customization options.
Users who have previously been verified but do not subscribe to Twitter Blue will lose their blue tick, but they can reapply for verification once they subscribe to the service.
This move by Twitter has sparked concerns and criticism from some users who feel that verification should be available to all users regardless of their subscription status.
Some have also raised concerns that this move could lead to a two-tier system on Twitter, where those who can afford to pay for the service have access to additional benefits.
Twitter has not yet responded to the criticism and concerns raised by users regarding this change in policy.
