Twitter Blue signups unavailable after raft of fake accounts

The Hindu  

Twitter's relaunched premium service — which grants blue-check “verification” labels to anyone willing to pay $8 a month — was unavailable Friday after the social media platform was flooded by a wave of imposter accounts approved by Twitter. Before billionaire Elon Musk took control of the social media platform two weeks ago the blue check was granted to celebrities, and journalists and verified by the platform — precisely to prevent impersonation. On Thursday, Mr. Musk tweeted that “too many corrupt legacies Blue ‘verification’ checkmarks exist, so no choice but to remove legacy Blue in coming months.” Twitter Blue was not available on the platform’s online version, which said signup was only possible on the iPhone version. But the iPhone version did not offer Twitter Blue as an option Twitter also once again began adding gray “official” labels to some prominent accounts.
