Blue check Twitter (X) subscribers will be required to submit their photos and a photo of a government issued ID to an Israeli company with ties to Israeli Intelligence.

After this, every Twitter blue check mark should be seen as a little target symbol for any scammer who is looking for the world's most gullible person.

@auschwitzmuseum wrote an informative statement on why removing the feature from is a terrible idea which will disproportionately affect persecuted groups, especially those the don't like, such as scientists, ethnic minorities, nonwhites, non-christian religious groups, etc.

Twitter threads may soon become vast seas of Bluechecks dumping their hate-speech on everyone they want to oppress, drowning out all discourse.

Yet another nail in the coffin of Twitter.

Taking the out of my name on here.

It seemed humorous and ironic when I added it, but it's beginning to feel like ironically wearing a after seeing seas of bluechecks on promoting Putinism, calling for the deaths of minorities, and otherwise being horrible, anti-humanitarians...

About half of people in the US support , with that number even higher when you only look at people connected enough to actually have information on the situation.

Scrolling through / 's timeline, however, one would think there was zero support and the admin was giving them old military equipment against the will of his own people.

This is an example of " ", where a politically polarizing figure has asked his followers to give him money in exchange for reach, and the people who are willing to give him money are the worst people on the site, whose horrible takes would otherwise be ignored as uninformed, deplorable, or insane. Bolstered to the top of the comments, they make Putinist propaganda look like normal viewpoints.

This is why Twitter is a , this is why Corporate doesn't work, this is why exists, and why MUST supplant its alternatives for the good of humanity.

’s can’t send Blue subscribers their ad revenue-sharing payouts on time

Friday night is a good time to announce you’re not paying your bills.

"That’s not exactly what you’d want to hear from a program touting itself as “part of our effort to help people earn a living directly on X,” and the key to Elon Musk’s X dream for an app that handles , stock trading, and other vital financial features."

Yeah, it's a GREAT sign when your membership symbol, the whole status thing you've been touting as an eagerly-sought feature of a subscription, becomes something you have to let people HIDE to avoid mockery.

Because Mastodon/Fediverse abhors the QT:

Blue-check users at the former bird site can now pay to make it look like they haven't paid to use the site--because the blue-check brand has become toxic. You cannot make this stuff up.

〝Apart from spreading by blue-checked accounts, the fake image was also shared by the Twitter account of Russian state media outlet RT in a post that has since been deleted. Several Indian news outlets shared false reports of the explosion. One of them, Republic TV, showed the fake image on air, citing RT’s tweet.〞

I really don't feel any sympathy for people falling for the pentagon / white house explosion fake news being spread by clowns.

I am SO glad this whole fake "Pentagon explosion" thing happened while I was out riding. I probably would've lost it, even if it only took 5 minutes to discover the fakery. A lot of people are in fragile mind-sets these days, and something like this can push a troubled person over the edge in, um, tragically permanent ways. Of course, it was a assho– no, *terrorist* -- who did this. The law has yet to catch up, but Elmo and his mob don't care about laws anyway.

Ok. You give them your real-name and your personal details, so that they can Add-target you better. They will get 2-3x more add-revenue on you.

And THEN you will pay 9 $ per month?

What kind of Business is that?!?

You can have the same "for free" on Facebook!

I left in February. A decision I never regretted.

A girl I used to follow- who latches on to old men for money is now verified.

A popular and credible blogger lost her blue check.

Its now almost impossible to get decent reliable news from that site. 🙄
