The removals follow spats between Twitter and various news organizations that have objected to labels appended to their accounts indicating they were 'state affiliated' or 'government funded.' | via philstarlife
Twitter began the mass removal of its blue ticks on Thursday, as the symbol previously used to signify a verified account vanished from users including the Pope, Donald Trump and Justin Bieber.

"There really ought to be a way for emergency managers to verify that they are real on this website or imposters will cause suffering and death," he tweeted.
Sweden's public radio Sveriges Radio said this week it would stop tweeting, following in the footsteps of US radio station NPR and Canadian broadcaster CBC. This month, a closely watched forecast said Twitter's income from advertising will fall by a large margin in 2023.
