Twitter removed the legacy verified checkmarks on Thursday (April 20) and celebrities are reacting to the news.
As previously announced by CEO Elon Musk, users are now required to pay $8 per month for blue check verification on the social media platform when signing up for Twitter Blue, regardless of whether they were previously verified.
The controversial policy caused many stars to speak out against the money-making strategy, while other stars apparently paid for the service.
โTomorrow, 4/20, we will remove legacy verified marksโ, the platform officially Announced on Wednesday (April 19).

I FINALLY got rid of the blue check

Crazy to have a company that helped create validation systems for trusted sources of information just by ripping through the playbook they wrote. That is used almost universally. Like… “Excellent, radical and innovative approach, brothers!” ๐ซ https://t.co/IqywZcVJF2

I swear this is the real Skylar Astin. He used to have a blue check mark. Hmmm might have to go. I don’t know if I feel safe knowing that anyone can impersonate me. More to come soon. Or not.

So just so you understand. If I pay for Twitter, it may have a blue check mark. Which now will just mean I paid for it. Someone else can open a Twitter account in my name and pay for it, and that account is also considered verified, which puts me a bit at risk, right?
