Twitter finally takes away all legacy 'Blue Ticks' from its users today (April 20), as relatively new CEO Elon Musk pushes a brand-new paid for subscription service.
Legacy 'Blue Ticks' were originally only given to notable social media users like celebrities, politicians and journalists - who had passed strict verification processes online. This allowed the platform to verify a notable user's identity and prevent copycats and impersonators.
But under Musk's newly-found ownership, the tick has become an indicator that a social media user is subscribed to the brand-new Twitter Blue project - which sets users back £9.60 per month or £100.80 annually for desktop at the time of writing.
