Twitter hold off relaunching blue check verification subscription service said Elon Musk. A delay from his early tentative timeline to bring back the service on the platform.
“Holding off relaunch of Blue Verified until there is high confidence of stopping impersonation,” Musk said in a tweet.
“Will probably use different color check for organizations than individuals.”

Will probably use different color check for organizations than individuals.
The wanted blue check mark earlier reserved for verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities, journalists and other public figures.
But a subscription option, open to anyone prepared to pay, rolled out previously this month to help Twitter grow revenue as Musk fights to keep advertisers.
Twitter had stopped its freshly announced $8 blue check subscription service, as fake accounts expanded and had said Twitter’s sought-after blue check subscription service relaunched on November 29.
Musk also tweeted that Twitter added 1.6 million users this past week, “another all-time high”.
