Twitter appears to be battling a wave of celebrity and corporate impersonators on its platform who have quickly gamed the company’s new paid verification system

, hours after its launch. CNN has confirmed multiple verified Twitter accounts have been suspended by the platform after other users posted screenshots showing misleading content from the accounts. The fake verified accounts had posed as former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Nintendo of America, the basketball player LeBron James, the software company Valve and others.

He purchased Twitter Blue for the old account using a prepaid card tied to his real name, and “immediately [had] a fake Trump with a blue tick for two hours.” Rachel Tobac, a cybersecurity expert, noted the trend and said it could quickly spread to bad actors impersonating first responders or other government accounts. “This verification roll out is causing huge trust issues across the platform already,” Tobac tweeted.

As expected

cnn still a trainwreck.

8$

DUH

$8 pay it

No change there then, has always been a problem where people got accounts verified and then changed them to impersonate.

Lol cnn wow. You can't help yourself

I suggest elonmusk to require ID photo and selfie from people who want to have a Twitter verified account

Wow. No one could have seen this coming. This is my shocked face.

Like you degenerate frauds?

elonmusk was there not a verification system in place for this?

Nobody could have predicted this. 🙄

Elon Musk working at his finest 💩. Twitter

The wave carries a bill. The bill enriches Musk. He later states ' it's an ongoing process.' Still, you're paying $8 dollars. Imagine paying for a streaming service with so many issues?

Been battling that for years . . . .

Twitter has already before been a worstcase example of Asocial Media you shouldn't trust. Who believed it would become better just by a rich guy with too much ego whose first step is to fire all those who knew what they were doing...?

Saw that coming

It was expected, it will keep happening unless they ask for identity verification to get a blue check.

Ok, be honest, did you write this article before it even launched? 😂😂😂

Who would've have seen that coming?

Lmao

Its only fair CNN pretends to be news

That Musk genius on display again.

As predicted

lol

MissesDread

elonmusk is a terrible CEO and pretty much everyone saw that problem coming. Apart from him. Genius he ain’t, apart from when it comes to engineering, but even Tesla is now suffering because he’s taken a wrecking ball to Twitter.

If they left they have no claim to the account tough tittys

Are we supposed to care about this or something? Which republicans will head what committees, and what might they do with them? *That's* news.

8$

recap on the twitter verification drama:

AB_AgainstUCP

Weird, huh?

Paid subscription is actually genius. How many credit card can trolls make? In the long run Twitter will flush out these people base on their credit cards and Twitter will win the battle in the end.

Nobody could’ve predicted this.

Clown show.

real posters knew that would happen instantly but alas we are doomed to forever suffer from cassandra's curse also can we finally stop pretending that guy is some sort of tech genius? alll he ever innovated was how to buy his way into getting credit for things he didn't innovate

“Paid verification” is an oxymoron

Twitter rn:

Brandi_Buchman The worst decisions by the worst owner/manager in recent business history: Elon Musk.

What if, and bear with me here, Alan’s job is to break this app very badly

Brandi_Buchman no one could have predicted this clearly obvious result

Literally everyone except Elon saw this coming.

He’s turned the app into a clown 🤡 show

Saved the best for last

Gee, who could've seen that coming?

Who could've thought

Great job elonmusk

Because its leader is a racist greedy nincompoop.

Very Badass

elonmusk Add a verification step. Anonymity is not your friend.

Like CNN gamed the news business? Hahacoughhaha!

Musk is a clown and Twitter is his circus.

❤️ CNN

Who saw that coming

What. A. Shock. Elon sucks

Jesus 'He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:'John 1:10-12 KJV

Hahaha who could possibly have seen this coming? Everyone but the new owner.

🔥👉👑Jesus claims to be God, the Father, and the Son/Christ.👇 'And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.' -Mark 10:18 KJV 💗💯🩸🐑'I am the good shepherd: 👈👉the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.' -John 10:11 KJV👑

When Jesus died for your sins He forgave all sins, past, present, and future sins, and gives to your account all His righteousness as a free gift! Now that is the Jesus I know and love because He first loved me! Simply have faith in His blood🩸and believe He rose from the grave🙏

Christ died for our sins was buried and rose on the third day according to the scriptures is the gospel that saves us by trusting that Jesus paid our sin debt in full on the cross with His blood and rose again. Faith in Christ who is God in the likeness of a man saves us forever!

The greatest news in the world! Jesus Saves!🩸 'For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:'1Cor15:3-4

Hahahaha elonmusk

Someone should fix that. elonmusk
