Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk defended Sunday his much-criticized launch of a paid subscription service to verify user accounts.
SAN FRANCISCO, United States — Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk defended Sunday his much-criticised launch of a paid subscription service to verify user accounts.
Under the new plan, users paying $8 per month for the platform’s subscription service, Twitter Blue, would receive the network’s famous blue checkmark that signals a verified account. On iPhones, the social network’s app already mentions the new service but its launch has been postponed to Wednesday, the day after the US midterm elections, according to the New York Times.
“Twitter needs to become by far the most accurate source of information about the world. That’s our mission,” Musk tweeted Sunday.Platform user Kyle Grantham said Musk’s new policy would “let anyone gives me money appear to be a legitimate source of news, rather than just ensuring all legitimate sources of news are confirmed to be who they say they are.”
