Twitter's blue ticks were reinstated on some media, celebrity, and other high profile accounts Saturday - a move protested by many of the recipients. | News24_Business

American rapper Lil Nas X, whose profile displays the blue tick, tweeted:"on my soul i didn't pay for twitter blue, u will feel my wrath tesla man!"Many official media accounts regained a tick, including AFP, which has not subscribed to Twitter Blue.

The reinstated ticks did not lure back US public radio NPR and Canada's public broadcaster CBC, which recently suspended activity on their accounts and had not resumed tweeting as of Sunday. "No means no, boys," tech journalist Kara Swisher tweeted on Saturday, saying that she had gained the blue tick without her consent.
