The brief life of Twitter’s official account button

The Hindu  

Twitter on Wednesday implemented a feature that designated some verified accounts as “official” through a special label before quickly removing it, as CEO Elon Musk claimed he had “killed” the new update. The social media platform launched the new Twitter Blue subscription service which allows users to pay $7.99 per month to have the “verified” checkmark added to their account. The main Twitter handle of The Hindu also received the “official” label, placed under the verified checkmark it received for free. However, when web video producer and gadget reviewer Marques Brownlee commented on the update and its subsequent disappearance, Musk replied, “I just killed it.” The tech billionaire added that the blue check would be the “great leveler.” The “official” account label was introduced on Twitter this week to prevent users from impersonating key political leaders and authorities.
