The talk of Twitter this evening has seemingly revolved around the disappearance of legacy 'Blue Ticks' from countless profiles worldwide.
The legacy checkmark was initially a sign of verification given to notable people - like celebrities, politicians, journalists and sports stars - after they had passed strict verification processes online. This in-turn allowed the platform to verify a notable user's identity while preventing online impersonators.
But today, Twitter users waved goodbye to all legacy checkmarks, with the only ones remaining belonging to businesses, affiliates, current government officials and those subscribed to the ever-controversial Twitter Blue.
