If everyone is verified, no one is verified.
False. Please don’t spread misinformation like this.
No. Everyone can, in fact, be verified.
As Elon Musk now owns Twitter, I think they will also accept payments from PayPal, because that is the company that laid the foundation for his wealth. At PayPal however you can have as many accounts as you want. You just need a new email address for every account. If you just use PayPal for $8 payments, they will not verify your identity. Getting money on any anonymous Paypal account is easy: Just transfer the money from your real PalPal account.
I don’t understand this. The bot problem is mobs of throwaway accounts that fill replies to tweets. They were never verified and won’t be verified. How does this remove bots?
And it will mean absolutely ****ing nothing once they can be.
Blue check was always about verification. That’s it. It never had anything to do with someone being an “expert or figure of knowledge or importance”.
Doing away with it as a status symbol is a major benefit of this change. And one of the reasons a certain type of person is so angry.
Great job Elon. Finally Twitter is back being the product instead of us….
Verified accounts get priority in posts and replies. Bot accounts (being unverified) go to the bottom of the list, diminishing their value.
If the feature takes off, verified accounts will be the standard on the platform, in which case you can assume unverified are bots.
Could implement a user toggle to block all unverified accounts.
You can't pay for Supercharging using PayPal or put a reservation down.
Wonder if he thinks he can get another government loan to bail him out once twitter is tweeter-ing on the edge of financial solvency in a year.
I would pay him $8 for an answer to that.

The majority were dead weight. They were vastly overstaffed. It's why they were losing $4m a day.
OhHHh the tragedy. what will we ever do without twitter for the elections. how did we do it 20 years ago? these people make me laugh
Explain how it’s “easy”. And please provide sources to back up that claim.
Public figures, like Tim Cook, will reportedly have their title listed under their user name (Apple CEO). That will distinguish him from other Tim Cooks, who can also not use the Apple CEO’s picture in their profile, as that is a violation of TOS.
You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be. It’s fairly simple and straight forward.
I’m in Canada, so there’s no way in hell I’m getting a Big Mac combo for $7.99 these days.
Couldn't be much worse than only allowing what they deemed as "accurate" and silenced opposing views.
But… it’s a THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY!!!
Honest question here, I have seen this appear more than once… what’s the thread for this?
If every citizen is verified to be one, gets its ID, then no one is verified or a citizen?
I’m an immigrant, I had to pay several many thousands of dollars for over close to a decade, to have access to the verification process: health checks, language checks, skill checks, stay enough time checks, several times over. I could have been denied or approved.
But if everyone is immigration verified then no one is?
I’m not following the computation for this one, unless we are referring that this verification is not really one?
