#Twitter / #Xโs formerly valued #BlueTick has now degenerated into a tool for scammers and frauds. #TheGuardian has the story below.
Itโs extraordinary to see how quickly #ElonMusk has destroyed one of #SocialMediaโs premium brands

False and misleading posts about the Ukraine conflict continue to go viral on major social media platforms, as Russia's invasion of the country extends beyond 500 days.
Some of the most widely shared examples can be found on Twitter, posted by subscribers with a blue tick, who pay for their content to be promoted to other users.

People told you that blue tick meant something. Your greedy arrogance didn't listen.
Now we get to say, we told you so. ๐คญ

Apparently, they are doing a lot of #censorship to reich-wing accounts already.

Slightly surprised that no-one (that i've seen) has done this obvious riff on the #bluetick situation:

With #Elon boosting the #BlueTick all he has now is an endless list of hate against him being promoted under every #tweet.

Blue Tick (verb): To seriously fail at something even after everyone has told you how badly your plans are going to fail.
e.g. "I told him he was going to Blue Tick the accounting project, but he didn't listen"
"Dammit, I didn't listen. I Blue Ticked that so hard".

Genuinely amazing how #Elon #Musk has driven almost all celebrities and power users with millions of followers to disavow and disrecommend his #BlueTick product over the weekend. Such a business #genius https://slate.com/technology/2023/04/elon-musk-twitter-blue-checkmarks-verification-lebron-james.html

#Twitter restores blue tick to high profile accounts
Twitter restores the verified blue badge to accounts that insist they did not pay for a subscription.
> but their #credibility is lost, and there really isnโt any doubt to give it a benefit of.

@universalhub very good information, also seeing the difference between #stanford and #harvard - but not sure if harvard paid for #BlueTick and what stanford did to have no blue tick
