Elon Musk "disappears" the "ICT" sign on Twitter/ Fraudsters appear concerned

Twitter

Twitter halted its recently announced $8 subscription service after fake accounts exploded and new owner Elon Musk returned the "official" badge to some users of the social media platform.

The coveted blue badge was previously reserved for verified accounts of politicians, celebrities, journalists and other public figures. But a subscription option, open to anyone willing to pay, was introduced earlier this week to help Twitter boost revenue as Musk struggles to retain advertisers.

Flip-flop është pjesë e dy javëve kaotike në Twitter që kur Musk përfundoi blerjen e tij prej 44 miliardë dollarësh . Musk ka pushuar gati gjysmën e fuqisë punëtore të Twitter , ka hequr bordin dhe drejtuesit e lartë dhe ka ngritur mundësinë e falimentimit të Twitter . Komisioni Federal i Tregtisë i SHBA tha të enjten se po e shikonte Twitterin me "shqetësim të thellë".

Disa përdorues raportuan të premten se opsioni i ri i abonimit për shenjën blu të verifikimit ishte zhdukur, ndërsa një burim i tha Reuters se oferta ishte hequr.

Twitter nuk iu përgjigj një kërkese për koment.

Llogaritë e rreme që pretendojnë të jenë marka të mëdha janë shfaqur me çekun blu që nga prezantimi i ri, duke përfshirë Tesla dhe SpaceX të Musk, si dhe Roblox, Nestle, firmën farmaceutike Eli Lilly dhe Lockheed Martin.

"To combat impersonation, we've added an 'Official' tag to some accounts," Twitter's support account — which has the "Official" tag — tweeted on Friday.

The tag was first introduced on Wednesday, but was then removed by Musk just hours later.

Drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co issued an apology after a fake account tweeted that insulin would be free, amid political backlash and scrutiny of the drug's high prices.

"We apologize to those who were given a fraudulent message from a fake Lilly account," the company said, repeating the name of its Twitter handle.
