Twitter Blue Lax verification rules lead to number of fake accounts

acquired the social media giant on October 27, 2022, and immediately announced that he would introduce new features. To combat the spam bot, the new CEO recently launched a $7.99 monthly subscription service for users to get a blue checkmark. The decision was questioned by many as the blue tick was earlier used by verified government accounts, notable figures, journalists, politicians, and other vetted users. accounts with blue ticks took to impersonating Musk and other famous personalities and organizations in protest and in jest. The verifications started rolling out post-elections on Tuesday, and hundreds of fake accounts have popped up all over the platform, causing even more chaos. These verified accounts even named important personnel or the name of the company to seem "authentic." This made it impossible to know whether the account is a parody account without going to their profile and checking their bio description. A fake account for Eli Lilly, an Indianapolis-based pharmaceutical company, tweeted: "We are excited to announce insulin is free now." In lieu of fake and impersonating accounts, the CEO modified the rules. The new rules state that any spoof account must clearly indicate that it is "not affiliated with the subject portrayed in the profile," in both the account name and bio. Going forward, accounts engaged in parody must include “parody” in their name, not just in bioGoing forward, accounts engaged in parody must include “parody” in their name, not just in bio The jury is still out on whether this new rule will work, but the company has been prompt in banning any impersonating accounts. Sandra Bullock's fake account has since been suspended. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
