Twitter tweeted Friday that it will finally do what new owner Elon Musk has been saying for months — remove the small blue check marks, once used to denote notable accounts whose identities had been verified, unless users pay $8 a month.
Musk tweeted Friday that “any individual person’s Twitter account affiliated with a verified organization is automatically verified.” Organizations can verify their accounts for $1,000 a month, according to the post. Twitter’sabout verified organizations suggests it costs $50 for affiliate organizations to also receive a check mark.
Twitter’s new paid check-mark system breaks different accounts down with different colors — organizations receive a gold check mark, individuals get blue and governments are noted with a gray check.
