Today, Twitter is calling the shots by finally doing what Elon Musk has been saying and putting off for months now. They’re removing every blue checkmark. While the article reported by 9 to 5 mac says its buggy, Elon Musk has said and the article states that the old system is “bullshit.”
This is not my words, and the article even has bull shit within it.
Do I think the new system is also bullshit? Yes, I actually do.
Impersonation is now being done through social media, according to articles I’ve read. Krebs on Security has also talked about this in job scams and there have been articles about this as well throughout the landscape.
The 9 to 5 mac article is titled Skip to main content and is a short read.
I think now that this is happening, this will continue to push folks to other services which may include but not limited to facebook, instagram and Mastodon.
The JRN staff which includes Nick on TSB and Terry both TSB and Throwback call for Twitter to be gone if not having more problems within 6 months.
While Twitter has been able to survive since Musk took over, big name celebrities including basketball players have made it known they will not pay to play the verification game. With four accounts that I run, I know I’m not paying for any one of them.
I still call for Twitter to go by the way side within 6 months to a year, and most people will probably not care. Myspace is basicly a ghost town if it exists at all.
You’re welcome to debate. This is going to get interesting now.
Make it a great day!
