Last Thursday, April 20, Twitter began removing the blue check marks from users who have not paid for the service called 'Twitter Blue'.

In previous days it had been announced that this social network would "begin to reduce the blue marks" granted under the old verification system, which consisted of giving the blue element to high-profile people who could suffer impersonation.

 

How to get verified?
Previously, Twitter used the blue check mark to indicate active and relevant accounts on Twitter, now the way this is done is changing.

According to Twitter, the blue checkmark may mean that the account has an active subscription to the Twitter Blue subscription service and meets the eligibility criteria.

Twitter Blue subscribers will now need to meet the eligibility criteria to receive or retain the blue checkmark.
