Billionaire business magnate Elon Musk has now taken over Twitter, but not everyone is too happy about his controversial plans to shake things up on the social media platform. Following Musk's £38 billion ($44 billion) takeover last week, rumours began circulating that he now intends to start charging verified Twitter users as much as £17.33 ($20) each month to keep their blue tick status.
Many verified users have balked at the idea of paying a relatively steep fee for something they've previously enjoyed for free, with a number vowing to quit Twitter altogether if such a policy comes to pass. Others have expressed concerns about the wider implications of such a change, which they believe would increase the risk of imitation, scams, and misinformation.
