Twitter pe kuch bhi hota hai has gotten quite serious these days. Every day, you wake up to a new change introduced by this social media platform and it will be as random as possible. Now, currently, Twitter has again become the talk of the town for removing “BLUE TICKS” from the many celeb accounts. The list has names of some famous personalities from not just India, but internationally too! Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, among others, are on this list. In fact, now there are new rules that even celebrities will have to follow to get their account verified.
On April 20, Thursday, Twitter flashed on the headlines for suddenly taking away the blue ticket right from all the celeb accounts, including people who are not from the entertainment industry. Twitter removed the blue tick from all the accounts. The list includes well-known names like Alia Bhatt, Shah Rukh Khan, Beyonce, and Oprah Winfrey among others. Among the cricketers and politicians, Rahul Gandhi, Donald Trump and Virat Kohli are on this list.
Now Twitter has introduced a new process for verification so as to avoid any kind of impersonation of celebrities. As per the new rule, there is a certain amount to be paid to get the blue ticks back on their accounts. As per the rule, Twitter had claimed to remove the ticks from accounts that did not purchase the ‘Twitter Blue” subscription that starts from $8 USD. And looks like it has started doing that already.
