The direction of the American billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of the Twitter company, confused the confusion, when his platform again reduced the importance of the authentication mark that was dedicated to the accounts of famous, legal and reliable personalities, after unifying these marks with the marks of accounts whose owners pay a subscription in return for their authentication, even with a name. Pseudonymous.. According to the new rules, it will be impossible to quickly determine the difference between the old verified accounts of public figures such as former US President Barack Obama, and the accounts of users who pay a monthly subscription in exchange for obtaining the blue tick and reducing the ads that appear on their pages.
And Elon Musk had announced earlier that, starting from the beginning of this April, the authentication mark will be removed from the pages of Twitter users who do not pay a monthly subscription. On the other hand, many famous personalities announced that they would not pay a subscription in exchange for converting the bird mark on their page from white to white. the colour blue.
And a large number of American media organizations, such as the New York Times, also announced that they would not pay a subscription to keep the blue verification mark on their Twitter account pages, although the blue mark was already removed from some pages as of last Monday, in application of Musk's new rules.
It is noteworthy that Musk acquired Twitter last October for $ 44 billion, and since that time the company has lost about half of its market value due to the drop in its share price on the stock exchange.
