Twitter is set to relaunch its Blue subscription, which will now require people to verify their phone numbers before they can get a checkmark. Its CEO also confirmed plans to increase tweet limits.
After a lot of delays, Twitter is now set to relaunch its subscription service Twitter Blue on Monday. The main feature of the service will be the addition of a blue checkmark. Twitter gave users the option to have one about a month ago, but this was eventually pulled after trolls used it to impersonate public figures and companies and post inappropriate content.
Now, for Twitter Blue subscribers to receive their blue checkmark, they will need a verified phone number.
