Advantages or disadvantages of paying for blue ticks on Twitter, what are users saying?
Now users will have to pay money for blue ticks on Twitter. The company’s new CEO Elon Musk has clearly stated that no matter how many complaints are made, users will have to pay $ 8 per month for blue ticks on Twitter.
After the takeover of Twitter for $ 44 billion, Elon Musk has said that this is an important step to tackle fake accounts and fraud on the social media platform.
Till now, identification of the original account i.e. Blue Tick Verification is available on Twitter for free.
However, this announcement of Musk is also being criticized. It is believed that this will make it difficult to differentiate between real and fake content on Twitter.
Musk’s announcement is being discussed a lot in India too. Many Twitter users say that even if their blue tick is withdrawn, it does not affect their online experience, but they are not in favor of paying for it.
Some people also say that taking money will end the importance of blue tick.
Even before the Twitter deal was completed, Musk had said that he wanted to make it a place of ‘free speech’. But now with the payment for Twitter’s blue tick, Musk’s argument has also come under question.
