Twitter introduced that on April 20, we’re eradicating legacy verified checkmarks”.
Twitter Blue in India will price Rs 9,400 a 12 months (or Rs 900 a month) for particular person customers.
The D-Day is lastly right here for legacy Blue verify mark house owners on Twitter and the micro-blogging platform was all set to take away all Blue badges without delay on Thursday.
According to its CEO Elon Musk, it’s “shaping as much as be fairly the day!”
Twitter announced that on April 20, “we are removing legacy verified checkmarks”.
“To stay verified on Twitter, people can join Twitter Blue. Organisations can join Verified Organisations,” the company said.
Twitter Blue in India will cost Rs 9,400 a year (or Rs 900 a month) for individual users.
The users can also get Blue Verified for $7 a month if they sign up via web browser, Musk had announced.
In its earlier effort to remove legacy accounts with Blue check marks, the company apparently did not have the backend technology to remove around 4.2 lakh legacy accounts with Blue ticks all at once.
According to The Washington Post, there were technical challenges to removing so-called blue ticks quickly at scale and the only way to do it currently was through a manual approach.
Musk had earlier given a deadline of April 1 to remove all legacy accounts with Blue verification. The company has so far only removed the Blue tick for The New York Times.
Twitter is also reportedly planning to give a $1,000 checkmark free to the top 10,000 organisations by follower count.
