Scott 20901 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Elon Musk said he would fix Twitter’s problem with impostors. The blue check mark on my fake U.S. senator suggests he still has a long way to go. On Tuesday, @SenatorEdMarkey briefly went viral on Twitter. Gisele Barreto Fetterman, the wife of Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), thanked @SenatorEdMarkey in a tweet that garnered 140,000 views. The problem is, @SenatorEdMarkey is actually me, not the real Sen. Edward J. Markey. It’s a test of Twitter’s $7.99 per month Blue “verification” service I made with the permission of the real Democrat from Massachusetts. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/05/twitter-blue-verification/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk 61355 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Musk is probably too busy dealing with being sued for not paying rent on tw*tter HQ. Edited January 5 by Bluespunk Misspelt tw*tter 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce 27997 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I'm confused about this verification system. What does it verify? Is it just a pretty blue ornament anyone can rent for $8 a month to decorate a real or fake Twitter account? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
