First days of chaos on Twitter after changes to the social network verification system. Yesterday, November 9, only for a few hours, some verified accounts presented an additional check mark with the word “Official” under the name of some media, government bodies, companies, etc. Shortly thereafter he disappeared and Twitter Blue subscribers were able to purchase the check mark next to their name. The result? Official accounts like Nintendo of America or Valve have been supplanted.
A message to Elon Musk
Valve’s fake account has announced an alleged new corporate video game, Ricochet: Neon Prime. The person who impersonated her took the opportunity to denounce the dangers of the new verification systemsince many will confuse the accounts by mistake, for food of the fakenews:
“Twitter Blue is a problem. Misinformation is easy to spread and the damage it can cause can have real effects on people, much more impact than a fake game ad. You now own a huge platform and this is what you have decided to do with it, better @elonmusk.
The fake Nintendo of America account did not follow Valve’s footsteps and dedicated itself to tweeting photos like that of Super Mario is doing a manga cutas can be seen in the capture above these lines.
It should be noted that by clicking on the blue check mark of an account it is possible to check whether the verification has been purchased or not. In any case, in countries like Spain it is not available, so vets purchased through Twitter Blue don’t even appear next to the name. How will it be fixed? We will have to wait for the next occurrence of Elon Musk, a tycoon known for his eccentricities and deviations.
Elon Musk’s new Twitter announced a resizing almost 50%.
