reason to buy Twitter by Elon Musk The near fall was due to the large number of fake accounts on the platform. Now that the businessman owns the social network, one of his changes aims to solve part of this problem.

Molly White, Page creator Web3 is going greatwas one of the first to reveal the change, showing, for example, how the zero now has a cross hatch to distinguish it from the letter O.

“I’m not sure a font change that still requires people to look closely at their Twitter handle will make much of a difference, but hey, it probably won’t make things worse,” White wrote.

This also happens with other letters, which are easier to distinguish from a capital i with a small tail added.

This change is a way to make it harder for those who create fake accounts or copies of other users because they use special characters such as numbers to confuse other people into believing that the registered name is the same as the official one.

For now, this change is being noticed by some users in the web version TwitterBoth on desktop and mobile, but not in the app for Android phones and iOS.

Additionally, the font for usernames has been changed, as no changes are currently visible in tweets.
