After a disastrous introduction last month, Twitter is relaunching its subscription service on Monday, allowing users to pay to be verified on the platform.
In exchange for the $8, or around €7.55, monthly cost, Twitter Blue users will receive a blue tick badge, the option to modify tweets, and several other features.
The site had been started last month but was suspended when it was overrun by dishonest users who paid for authentication before posing as well-known people and organizations and frequently submitting potentially unpleasant and abusive comments.
Under the new procedure, Twitter has stated that users will be able to modify their account handle and display name, but they will forfeit their verified badge until Twitter has examined their account once more.
The subscription service is a cornerstone of Elon Musk’s policy as the new owner of Twitter. According to the billionaire, it will diversify the company’s revenue stream and make the verification process more equitable since Twitter previously only awarded blue badges to accounts it deemed noteworthy.
Additionally, he has said that the approach would aid in the fight against spam on the website because replies from verified users will be prioritized over other information.
Before the relaunch, Mr. Musk adjusted the price for Blue, now charging iOS subscribers 11 dollars (£9) a month to help cover the commission Apple charges for purchases made through its App Store.
Additionally, Twitter has announced that it will start changing the grey “official” designations on well-known accounts to a gold tick badge for corporations and a grey tick badge for government accounts.
