A visit to Twitter’s currently live profile did not display the gray check mark, suggesting the feature has not yet been implemented.
“Not all previously verified accounts will get the ‘Official’ label and the label is not available for purchase,” Crawford. “Accounts that will receive it include government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, publishers and some public figures.”
Crawford also confirmed that the forthcoming option to pay for a blue check mark will not include an identity verification requirement.In recent days, Twitter has been met with widespread criticism over its plan to change the meaning of the blue check mark away from identifying confirmed individuals, particularly public figures,, the company’s subscription service.
Election security experts warned of the likelihood that bad actors could pay for a blue check mark, then change their display names to impersonate government officials or other authoritative sources of information. After appearing to ready the feature for rollout over the weekend, Twitter later decided to delay the deployment until after the midterms, CNN has previously reported. Also over the weekend, Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk vowed that accounts caught engaging in undisclosed impersonation would be permanently banned without warning, reversing earlier promises that so-called “permabans” would be extremely rare.
Musk’s announcement came after numerous celebrity accounts used their verified status to mock Musk’s paid verification plan, by modifying their accounts to resemble his.
