Elon Musk is making changes to the verification feature on Twitter once again. The $8 monthly subscription service for a blue checkmark was a complete disaster as users created fake accounts which misrepresented the real verifiable ones.
This new service will be launched next week Friday on December 2nd. This new system will come with a color code, gold checkmark for companies, grey for governments, and blue for individuals. All verified accounts will be manually authenticated before the check is authenticated.
Elon, I’m trying. It won’t let me and I’m Verified (need to edit 1 character I can’t spell)

He went on to further explain that individuals can have a second tiny logo to note they are part of a particular organization. That organization also has to verify that the individual represents them or works with them in some way.
So every individual verified as a public official or $8 payment will have the same check?

Will they be customizable?
Will there be a red check for those that commit fraud but verified #NYT?
Twitter took another step to stop spam and fake accounts when Twitter Blue was finally relaunched. Last week, the company changed its terms so that newly created accounts have to wait 90 days from the date of account creation before they can buy a Twitter Blue subscription.
