The decision to push back the new feature comes one day after the platform launched an updated version of its iOS app that promises to allow users who pay a monthly subscription fee to get a blue checkmark on their profiles, a feature that CEO Elon Musk has proposed as a way to fight spam on the platform. The app’s latest update was outlined on Apple’s App Store, stating that users will now have to pay $7.
Silverman’s account was labeled as “temporarily restricted” Sunday, with a warning that “there has been some unusual activity from this account” shown to visitors before clicking through to the profile. The comedian then changed her account back to its usual form, complete with her own name and image. Television actress Valerie Bertinelli similarly changed her account name to the Twitter CEO’s, tweeting Friday that “[t]he blue checkmark simply meant your identity was verified.
Today is an American election day and will be remembered as an American insurrection. Don't forget to abort a terrorist democrat at midterm.
People are going to get very mad!
so..he couldnt make a crypto, cash it out. and then invest the money to keep the servers on, and pay hamsters to police it? he should be fired.
What is the point of this story? CNN can you be more clear - no one can and no wants to read between the lies.
Democrats who use 2 Diesel heating oil for their homes might want to switch their votes from 🔵 to red 🔴 so they don't freeze this winter. Biden's cutting of fossil fuels includes zero 2 Diesel oil for heating everyones homes.
Elon is figuring out people are pissed. Free speech shouldn't cost 8 dollars.
state of exception in full force in Brazil. People being banned from platforms without the right to defense, just for legitimately questioning the electoral procedure. In democracy, any and all questions are valid!

Why do people watch CNN? Half the staff in prison and the other half waiting to be fired? Every story a straight up lie? Why watch?
I think the guy that bludgeoned him with the hammer supposedly, is his Gay lover he even looks like a male younger looking Pelosi, and he was in his underpants !
elonmusk hoping to get another huge grant from the government?
& elonmusk . As an armchair economist, I’m curious how $8 price was arrived at. Was it by market forces of demand/supply? How ascertained? Any rival ‘products’ for which this price was compared? How does it relate to tweet ‘production’ costs? Or arbitrary price fixing?

Ain’t paying it
That would help weed out a lot of the fake news
AMERICA IS ALREADY GREAT! SINCE 1776! SINCE 10,000 BC NATIVE AMERICA! SINCE THE DINOSAUR ERA 🦖.
Pay attention to the systematic massacre of the Iranian people . Members of the Islamic Republic voted to kill the people . Isn't this a scandal? مهسا_امینی

Wants to see which way the wind is blowing to see who he has to pretend to be to minimize the damage he does.
I know this is nefarious, but I can't put my finger on it.
Am I the only person that could care less about a frickin blue check?
Translation: they fired too many developers & now need more time by spreading the tasks out over more sprints. 🤣
Cnn doesn't have any direct sources in twatter anymore. They have been SACKED.

There’s a lot of regressive shit being delayed until after the mid terms. Might be a lesson in this fact
I would never pay for Twitter
Forgets to state, it's not delayed out of the kindness of his heard. It's delayed because it isn't done
Why? 70 million Trump people would bite a fast cool $600 million for a BLUE check Mark. Elon is still a really smart guy getting Red Conservatives to buy BLUE! I love it !!!!
Pakistan is having worst dictatorship in the world, everyday journalist and politicians are captured and tortured, even striped naked. The rogue army is capable to make Pakistan another North Korea, we need help from you for real democracy in Pakistan.
You would have to be a fool to pay that billionaire eight dollars
The only reason for the delay is that he and his people don't have the expertise to incorporate his ideas into Twitter and he will have to hire many of them back or lose much money with the delay. They should demand double their previous pay for at least 1 year and no firing.
A. It’s has nothing to do with verification and B. if it weren’t so (obviously and) potentially dangerous there’d be no reason to delay until after elections.
Unlike the liberals tweeting garbage ever hour on the hour until they lose Tuesday!
That’s not what it says in the update it wanted to do today.
Pourquoi après les élections ? Il veut quoi des republican ? Si VoteBlueForDemocracy gagne il abandonne son idée ? ... 8dollard un pins bleu....
Who cares ,that’s a business decision for Twitter. But if it takes off AOC then it must be a good thing
Can’t wait to pay. I think it will clean Twitter up more.
for one i think his strategy failed a long time ago he should have stayed in his industry
, .
Really?
But all those mis-information bots though, they will miss out on their now even more worthless blue tick and Elon will miss out on all that money!
Hey
Try Mastodon... A tweet like platform, been around a few years.
Meanwhile, the Latino community is at the Trump rally in Miami.
All but proving the site is a guise for a political machine.
America will have a gas crisis If all countries don't support America, America will be the poorest country this will happen and that will happen to a super power country that will make its people prosperous
So many people I follow have left already...
Likely found out he needed some of the employees he just fired!
InvestmentTalk3 It was never supposed to be ready by then. Is it really this easy to be a reporter for CNN?
Lol
Hahahaha…WHATEVER Twidiot!!!
Hi North Americans S.O.S . I know you are involved in a very important election, but if you have time, please help Brazilians. Please. All of our Republican congressmen are blocked. They are turning Brazil into a Venezuela. S.O.S;;;
Oh, yeah. This won't cause problems at all. 😒
Oh no! Elon stole your playbook. Medicine a little bitter?
People who already scraped up that $8 to finally feel seen😂
_screenshoter all
I wonder why. It's as if entirely devaluing the ability to actually verify people are who they say they are is somehow damaging to the reliability of information on the platform. Nobody could have predicted this.
I am already verified elonmusk
Sounds like Elon fired the team as promised. Morale must be great there!
I wonder how many 'what an idiot!' did it take?
It’s a membership fee.
An electric decision 🤔
Non-checked tweeps ain’t gonna pay. That leaves the checked peeps with: pay after 3 months or lose the check. Will they pay,or join the riff-raft common folk? I bet they cave and pay, to avoid being impersonated & have the upper hand in those disputes. I’ll block other payers
Once I get my blue check mark I’m going to tell so many lies on Twitter
I feel like he is playing y'all and you're just going along with it
' “I am a freedom of speech absolutist and I eat doody for breakfast every day,” [Sarah] Silverman tweeted Saturday' Hard hitting news from cnn, is ReliableSources still writing off the books? 😂😂😂
🗽PEACE ON EARTH❗🖐️🚀🛸💫
It's not verifying anything. When it works it's just giving you flair next to your name.
I will never pay $8/5/4/3 or 2.. unless it’s $8 a year.
I wonder why Wolfiesmom ? Good job, BTW
This makes no sense. If he concedes the idea is conducive to spreading misinformation BEFORE an election, how is an unchanged blue tick system going to prevent misinformation AFTER the election?
What does Sarah Silverman have to do with this story?
But plenty ahead of 2024 election
the Senegalese government commits many crimes against its youth. there are many arbitrary arrests of young influencers, since today an investigative journalist has just been arrested by the police of Macky sall
elon can take his blue check mark n pin it to his A$$...ya not gonna get a nickel outta me 🙅♂️
MuH bLeW ChEcK mArk.
More likely Elon fired too many people to safely implement the feature that fast. Elon doesn't care about election integrity!
“just like the celebrities, companies, and politicians you already follow.” … well, many companies and celebrities have been unable to be verified for years now, so we just left y’all.
Lmaoooo
Too bad. I was going to start TheRealElonMusk and pay the $8.
Why would politics matter to the guy who claims none of his actions are politically motivated?
Avoid discord? LMAO more like 'there are already dozens of blue check 'Elon Musk' troll accounts that we didn't foresee as a possibility because we're idiots'
So free speech becomes $8/month speech right after the Blue Wave. Cool cool.
Presumably answers the question about how government accounts will be treated.
Will our follower limit be lifted?
Chickity check yourself before elons wrecks himself
elonmusk is a worthless bully.
How can the fear mongers twist this one up
You can’t call it a verification system if there’s no verification involved.
Just means no 'moderation' until after midterms.
8 bucks for the checkmark is smart.
Why is it an issue ?
Poll: Was the blue check used to brainwash the electorate?
Poll: Should old Twitter executives be criminally charged for brainwashing?
