What will happen to Twitter from now on after ending the old verified

verified blue twitter

If you don’t pay on Twitter, you’ll stay without the blue check. Yesterday Elon Musk’s idea to end the old verified ones finally came true. In this way, celebrities and people recognized for their work have become “normal” accounts by not having that famous badge that has been on the platform for years. In addition, this change can mark a before and after for the social network, since it can venture into a time full of misinformation, false accounts or identity theft.

The owner of Twitter has finally managed to eliminate the old verified ones from the well-known social network of the blue bird. However, there are many users who ask themselves the question of what the network will be like from now on. And more, when you can get the check paying the blue check that Elon Musk has implemented.

First of all, it has already been possible to confirm how several accounts that have obtained the payment verification have dedicated themselves to spreading false or harmful content for other users. The problem is that it has just begun and everyone doubts what will be the future of Twitter to continue like this

What is the future of Twitter

To have the check you have to pay by Twitter. That is the sad reality that celebrities and people who had achieved it on their own merits through their profession had to assume yesterday all over the world. One of the main problems with this is that it can bring this social network to a world full of misinformation and hoaxes. If to date this small mark that appeared next to the name could give you the peace of mind of trusting said account, now the situation has completely changed.

It must be taken into account that this blue tick was a reference symbol when an account had more credibility. Therefore, from now on, irrelevant people or people who are dedicated to disseminating false information, may have a greater diffusion within the social network. So this can lead Twitter to a considerable increase in fake content.

Although that is not the only danger. There is also the point of impersonation. With the acquaintance verified, a ‘fake’ account could be easily distinguished from a real one. However, since the blue check is not displayed, users may begin to doubt. Everything will depend on whether those well-known characters finally pay and recover the verified by subscribing to Twitter Blue. Besides, the problem of spoofing It’s nothing new, having started late last year with the start of Twitter Blue.

Although, there is no doubt that one of the great dangers of removing the old check is the creation of fake accounts. Therefore, from now on, we will have to be careful with the profile we have seen. Either from a well-known character on the social network or famous, since it could not be him for real.
