Twitter brings back the blue checkmark for famous accounts

Twitter has returned the blue checkmark with no subscription fees for some Twitter accounts with more than one million followers.

As reported by Ukrinform, the BBC reported it.

Dozens of celebrities, some TV presenters and media accounts are among those who have withdrawn the blue check. Some sign restoration cases are free.

Before Elon Musk bought the platform, the blue checkmark was a verification badge that Twitter provided for free.

It has been reported that removing old blue ticks has to be done manually, so this too is likely to be a manual process that will continue in the coming days.

It was originally used as an authentication tool to stop fake accounts and the spread of misinformation.

Now this is a token that the account is subscribed to a premium service called Twitter Blue, and a verification process is performed when making a payment. Prices vary depending on where you subscribe, but average around $8 per month.

As reported by Ukrinform, many media accounts on Twitter have cleared of signs confirming their affiliation or funding.
