Reliable sources like BBC and NPR should just up and leave Twitter. And sue if/when someone else tries to pose as them.
Letting Twitter rot as an inner circle chat app like Truth and Gab is as it should be. It is not, and should not be considered, a valid source of information, and journalists all over have considered it as such for far too long.
Same applies to Facebook et al.

The removal of blue checkmarks has, predictably, resulted in a huge surge in fake accounts.

Elon Musk is paying for some Twitter accounts to get the blue check, even if they don't want it:
I’m curious if LeBron and the others can sue. When you click on the verified checkmark, it claims that the person subscribed to twitter blue, which seems like it could be implied to be an endorsement.
Edit: lol it looks like the notoriously super protective of her image, Taylor Swift was one of them too. If this is a something you can sue for, she 100% will.

LOL. Anyone who was verified before is still verified. All they did was hide the blue checkmark.

If enough of the idiots who paid $8 for Twitter block you, then you get shadowbanned on Twitter as a whole:

The dead have risen and they're voting Republican getting Twitter Blue!
Twitter is now also forcing gold ticks on some accounts...including one Disney account that isn't actually owned by Disney.
For those that maybe thought he couldn't dig any deeper, Elon Musk was caught having an alt account where he role plays a kid. It's as creepy and cringy as it sounds.

Buccee’s owner has given over a million dollars to Greg Abbot. If you still go there, it means you’re ok with it.
Dude, if you're still on twitter after that, it means you're ok with it. People, put your money where your fucking mouth is and close your accounts.

I actually did not know that. And yes, it will affect my shopping habits. So thanks for that.
Problem is, I'm not sure other major store chains aren't also donating to fascists - because that's what big businesses do.
An important difference is, however, that most people cannot stop buying food and gasoline. Tweeting is not in the same ballpark even by a Texas mile.
Sites/apps like Goods Unite Us try to help consumers pierce the veil and navigate their purchases, but I think even they go more by party than ideology.
