Twitter users with the blue verification tick had theirs removed unless they were willing to pay $8 per month to keep it.
The Kardashian clan has reacted in different ways to Twitter’s new blue checkmark system.
On Thursday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk made good on his promise to remove the blue verification tick on accounts who had not committed to paying $8 a month for individuals and $1,000 for organizations to keep it.
Musk said the decision was a democratization of the social media platform, but critics said it has the potential for misinformation to spread from those paying for the checkmark in order to boost their credibility. Twitter announced late last month that accounts that had received verification for belonging to notable individuals and organizations would lose their tick this month if they did not pay up.
