Twitter is suspending the rollout of its Twitter Blue subscription service as it seeks to"address impersonation issues," Zoë Schiffer, managing editor of tech newsletter Platformer, reported on Friday,The social media company launched its overhauled version of Twitter Blue earlier this week, offering anyone with a credit card willing to pay $8 the ability to receive a blue checkmark and a"verified" account.
"Twitter has suspended the launch of Twitter Blue and is actively trying to stop people from subscribing 'to help address impersonation issues," Schiffer tweeted.
by staying here, i’ll make it impossible 😆 worry no more, elonmusk
who reported?
How unexpected...
This got to be true cause elonmusk didn’t respond usually he shut down all fake news immediately 🧐
JuliaDavisNews It was obvious to people who use twitter this would happen - it was the fastest way to devalue the platform, and incomprehensible outside a context of trying to destroy the platform.
wallisweaver What the hell did he think was gonna happen?
JuliaDavisNews Is this a fake account troll?
elonmusk The solution is: 1) To delete all the legacy blue checks. 2) Change the color of the paid checks. 3) Change the icon of the check so it won't be a 'check' anymore. 4) Create a double icon for institutions or people that you don't want to be impersonated.
JuliaDavisNews Wow! What a surprise! Shocking! Totally unexpected. 🙄
Musk makes chaos at Twitter Official policy via theregister
😖😳😂😂😂😂😂
Perhaps move into the place and spend a few months learning how the business actually works, instead of how you think it works before kicking all the tables over.
It seems Elon did not plan it well
Breaking all the rules... Isn't there a golden rule to use $7.99? Then there wouldn't be all this economic mess.
No, It has not sinked in yet.
JuliaDavisNews Wow, no one saw that problem coming. 🤦🏻♀️
What a disaster, never trust insecure people who have lots of money lol
JuliaDavisNews Now he has his excuse to jack it up to $20. 🙄
Who could have predicted this turn of events?
bigstape Who could have possibly foreseen such a thing!
Mr Burns has nothing on this guy.
You would think instead wasting time trying to think of clever lines to respond to people saying mean things about him, he would have realized what an awful idea it was…
He's a phone call away
Hagahahahahhahahahah
Everybody but the MuskRat saw that happening...
Aw, it was getting interesting too
i am a master strategist.
Elon is totally redefining the PR phase of the software development life cycle! 😂😂😂
Humorless ChiefTwit launches CircusTwit.
rachel_maria65 Who knew this might happen?
JuliaDavisNews Musk is ruining it on purpose, paid by Saudis, imo.
JuliaDavisNews No one could have predicted that! Wait...
JuliaDavisNews Time to start a pool. What's your guess on the date and time Twitter files for bankruptcy?
JuliaDavisNews
JuliaDavisNews Well…duh… it was the dumbest idea ever
JuliaDavisNews They democratised the shit out of it.
rachel_maria65 FTC is looking at Twitter following Musk firing the people that were keeping Twitter from becoming a platform for trolls, bots, bad actors. Now Twitter is spiraling the bankruptcy toilet bowl. Maybe it's time for governments to step in, stabilize Twitter, and assert regulations.
JuliaDavisNews Who know this would happen except everybody?
rachel_maria65 Is Jeff Spicoli famous? 🥴😅
JuliaDavisNews Not a retreat, merely a redeployment. 🤔📉
JuliaDavisNews
mog7546 Looks almost clear that he bought it to destroy it
JuliaDavisNews keep the $8/mo if you must, but also keep the verification process. We understand it is a business.
EarthImpi Gosh, who could have seen this coming. You know, besides everyone?
JuliaDavisNews if only someone had warned Musk what a disaster this was going to be
JuliaDavisNews Wasnt it 100% predictable given that the credit card firstName and lastName doesnt need to match the twitter account name?
if only someone had warned him that this would not go well
JuliaDavisNews This is approaching Liz Truss levels of immediately running the thing you've just taken charge of into the ground.
I asked multiple Elon Musks on Twitter and they all said they could not foresee this trolling happening!!!
JuliaDavisNews Sure, let’s go to mars dingus.
JuliaDavisNews I see a stable genius in the making.
JuliaDavisNews But comedy! What happened to free speech comedy? It’s been hilarious 🤣
rachel_maria65 Here for the…
JuliaDavisNews 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean who could've predicted this?
There goes Elons last piece of good reputation...
JuliaDavisNews Impossible
JuliaDavisNews A bit too late. :)
JuliaDavisNews Are these troll accounts paying $8 now for that Check mark.
JuliaDavisNews hope this jerk suffers a financial desaster with this twitter deal
JuliaDavisNews Nincompoops didn’t think ahead. Business as usual.
Whatta mistaka to maka! 🤷♂️
What a surprise 😂😂
JuliaDavisNews ElonMusk's strategy for Twitter reminds me someone. TitanicTwitter RussianEmpire Kherson
JuliaDavisNews Why doesn’t Twitter just say ‘OK, Twitter costs $10 a year for everyone’? Leave the blue checks process as it’s been - validation for politicians, news orgs, companies, important/notable people, etc. And focus on improving fighting bots, spam and scammers.
JuliaDavisNews LOL!

I'm sure he's a stable genius
They've managed to become toxic to the advertisers who gave them $6 billion last year. Now they don't event sell their $8 subscription. Where, exactly, is the money coming from to keep Twitter from falling into bankruptcy, Elon?
JuliaDavisNews Without twitter and tweeters like you, I would be way behind the curve finding out about this stuff
Verified use to mean the person was really who they were, not someone who paid to be who they want to be.
I guess that putin really didn't appreciate NAFO after all.
ndylan1 😂
Chief twit indeed...
JuliaDavisNews Elon should google the myth of Icarus.
JuliaDavisNews Things not going elon's way?
JuliaDavisNews Well, isn't that surprising. The thing that everyone predicted was going to happen (impersonations), just happened
No clue, absolutely no clue.
JuliaDavisNews What a shocker…said no one watching the bird nosedive.
What an absolute mess

JuliaDavisNews
JuliaDavisNews 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
JuliaDavisNews That happens when arrogance get in the way of prudence.
JuliaDavisNews No idea what the issue could be.
That's so weird. It's a shame no one told Melon about that ahead of time, then he could have avoided this all. Oh wait, everyone did tell him about it. But Leon being Lone decided he knows best.
JuliaDavisNews Elon: Based on completely foreseeable events, there has been a change of plan
Who woulda thunk...
JuliaDavisNews How did such a genius not anticipate this? I mean this guy put a car in space, he totally grasps social nuance and consequence.
We did it 🥳 We broke his stupid idea 🥳
I'll just be over here literally LMFAO.
JuliaDavisNews I think this is way overblown. I mean no one, and I mean NO ONE, has tried to impersonate me.
Butwait, elon is a genius. How did this happen? Such a mystery.
Again, the content is the problem. Control the content all the pieces falls into place
JuliaDavisNews Elon Musk is a brilliant strategist!
JuliaDavisNews Unverified is the new Verified.
