Musk has been aggressively pushing the subscription service, which is now available in 15 countries. The SpaceX founder has been using the ‘Blue tick’ as the biggest selling point of the subscription. In its latest expansion phase, Twitter Blue has been launched in India, Indonesia, and Brazil. Here’s everything you need to know about the subscription service from Twitter. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Twitter Blue price in India" comment="subhead" text="Twitter Blue price in India">Twitter Blue price in India</cmsannotation> Twitter Blue has been priced at ₹650 ($7.8) per month for users paying through the web and ₹900 ($10.9) per month for users paying through Android and iOS devices. This is close to the US pricing at $8 for the web and $11 for Android and iOS devices. The company has also launched an annual subscription, which is available only on the web and costs ₹6,800, which is ₹567 per month. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Twitter Blue features" comment="subhead" text="Twitter Blue features">Twitter Blue features</cmsannotation> The highlight of Twitter Blue is the ‘blue tick’ that it offers, showing other users that the profile is verified. Twitter has said that Blue subscribers who have verified phone numbers will get a blue checkmark after approval from the company. The subscription also allows users access to the<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/twitter-starts-testing-the-edit-button-will-launch-it-this-month-for-paid-users/articleshow/93931577.cms"> edit button</a>, which allows them to edit tweets up to five times within 30 minutes of posting the tweet. In addition, users can also post longer videos, customize the app icon, set NFTs (non-fungible tokens) as their profile picture, and more. The company is also working on features such as reduced ads, wherein Twitter Blue subscribers will see 50% of the ads compared to normal users. Another feature in the works will push Twitter Blue subscribers to the top of replies, mentions, and search. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Should you buy Twitter Blue?" comment="subhead" text="Should you buy Twitter Blue?">Should you buy Twitter Blue?</cmsannotation> Twitter Blue is a premium service that has not been regionally priced. If you are an individual, it makes little sense to subscribe to the service unless you have been waiting for features such as the edit button and the ability to post longer videos. Businesses will benefit from getting verified on the platform, and the upcoming feature that puts the premium user’s tweets on top of replies, mentions, and the search will increase their visibility, helping them reach a larger audience. For some reason, despite paying such a premium price, Blue subscribers will have to see advertisements while scrolling through the feed, which may be a big issue for many users. If you are someone who always cherishes a blue checkmark next to your name, you need to consider if you are willing to pay the hefty price.

The company has now made a new announcement about legacy blue ticks. Users who received the blue tick before the launch of the subscription, known as the legacy blue tick, are now being removed, as<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1602407011106361362"> Musk</a> had earlier said. The social media giant has now announced that starting from April 1, legacy blue ticks or checkmarks will be removed. “On April 1st, we will begin winding down our legacy verified program and removing legacy verified checkmarks. To keep your blue checkmark on Twitter, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue,” the company said in a tweet. <div type="twitter" handle="verified" handlename="Twitter Verified" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1354533298685566983/2mZQ3Lpt_normal.jpg" favoritecount="3636" retweetcount="1304" status="On April 1st, we will begin winding down our legacy verified program and removing legacy verified checkmarks.

You will soon lose your legacy blue tick on Twitter – here’s everything you need to know

<ul><li><keyword id="6355315" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="elon-musk" source="Orion">Elon Musk</keyword> recently made the blue tick a paid service, allowing all users to get a blue tick with <keyword id="11265742" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="twitter-blue" source="Orion">Twitter Blue</keyword>.</li><li>This has resulted in accounts impersonating celebrities and popular brands popping up.</li><li>Some of the accounts that have been spotted include accounts impersonating Mark Zuckerberg, George Bush, <keyword id="6354616" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="twitter" source="Orion">Twitter</keyword>, and Rockstar Games.</li></ul>Elon <keyword id="364027" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="musk" source="Orion">Musk</keyword> recently completed the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/elon-musk-is-now-officially-twitters-new-owner-ending-months-of-costly-litigation/articleshow/95132480.cms">acquisition of Twitter</a>, and soon after that, he started <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/elon-musk-confirms-twitter-may-soon-change-280-character-limit/articleshow/95181341.cms">making changes</a> to the popular social media platform. The biggest change so far has been to the platform’s blue tick system. The Tesla co-founder has made the blue tick a part of Twitter Blue, the company’s premium subscription, which is now available for $8 globally and ₹719 (approx. $8.9) in India. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What is a blue tick?" comment="subhead" text="What is a blue tick?">What is a blue tick?</cmsannotation> Blue tick is Twitter’s verification process and indicates that accounts with a blue tick are real people. Earlier, blue ticks were reserved for notable accounts in the government, entertainment, news, or other categories such as sports, politics, and basically of public interest. It made it easier for other users to identify original accounts, separating them from impersonators. Now that Musk has made the blue tick a paid service, people have already started misusing it to impersonate other people and brands, making it easy to fool other users, leaving the only option to check their handles and judge based on it. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Blue tick monetization opens the doors to fakesters and scammers" comment="subhead" text="Blue tick monetization opens the doors to fakesters and scammers">Blue tick monetization opens the doors to fakesters and scammers</cmsannotation> Soon after Twitter rolled out the paid Twitter Blue subscription with the blue tick, there have been several instances where accounts with the blue tick have been impersonating others and posting misleading and incorrect information. <div type="image" title="1 (1)" msid="95446367" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A user impersonating Mark Zuckerberg&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> In one such instance, a user with the id <a href="https://twitter.com/joeahvr">@joeahvr</a> was caught impersonating Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg. The user was using the name Mark, along with Zuckerberg’s images. The account has now been suspended for “violating Twitter rules.” <div type="image" title="Bush" msid="95446382" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A user impersonating George Bush&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> In another instance, a user with the id <a href="https://twitter.com/georgewbushs">@georgewbushs</a> was impersonating former American president George Bush. The account posted a scandalous tweet saying, “I miss killing Iraqis.” This was retweeted by someone impersonating former UK prime minister Tony Blair, with the comment “same tbh.” Twitter has suspended both accounts, but instances like this are enough to cause outrage among the people who may consider the account genuine after seeing the blue tick. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="LeBron James" comment="subhead2" text="LeBron James">LeBron James</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="lebron." msid="95446407" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A user impersonating LeBron James&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> A user also impersonated LeBron James, the popular American basketball player. The account with the id @KINGJamez claimed that he is requesting a trade and leaving Lakers Nation. In addition to impersonating people, a few users have also been caught impersonating brands. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Twitter" comment="subhead2" text="Twitter">Twitter</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="twitter acc." msid="95446518" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A person impersonated Twitter and tried to scam users&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Gillian de Nooijer, a Twitter user, <a href="https://twitter.com/GillianDN/status/1590386158240165888">found</a> an account impersonating Twitter, claiming to offer free Twitter Blue to Crypto/NFT holders and sharing a link, asking them to “authenticate” their wallets. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Rockstar Games" comment="subhead2" text="Rockstar Games">Rockstar Games</cmsannotation> <div type="image" title="rock." msid="95446451" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A user impersonated Rockstar Games, promising to launch the next title of the Grand Theft Auto series&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> A Twitter user also <a href="https://twitter.com/Barnacules/status/1590631467486687232/photo/1">found</a> an account impersonating Rockstar Games, the creator of the Grand Theft Auto series. While the account did not try to scam anyone, it claimed that GTA VI would be launched on November 18. These are just a few examples of people impersonating others on Twitter after getting a blue tick. Twitter has yet to reveal what steps it plans on taking to prevent such misuse, apart from banning such users after the act. The present system has made it easier for scammers to target unsuspecting users by impersonating brands and celebrities. As seen above, a user impersonated Twitter to try to get access to the crypto and NFT wallets of users by offering them free access to Twitter Blue.

Fakers play as Musk makes people pay for a Twitter blue tick

<ul><li>Twitter has announced that it will no longer allow <keyword id="16569598" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="non-twitter-blue" source="Orion">non-Twitter Blue</keyword> users to use text messages as a two-factor authentication (2FA) method.</li><li>Currently, the platform offers three methods of 2FA - text message, authentication app and security key.</li></ul> San Francisco, Micro-blogging platform Twitter has announced that it will no longer allow non-Twitter Blue users to use text messages as a two-factor authentication (2FA) method, after March 20. Also, users will now not be able to enroll in the text message/SMS method of 2FA unless they are Blue subscribers, the company said in a blogpost. After March 20, <keyword id="16569599" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="non-blue" source="Orion">non-Blue</keyword> accounts with text message 2FA still enabled "will have it disabled." Currently, the platform offers three methods of 2FA - text message, authentication app and security key. The company further mentioned that it "encourages" non-Blue users to "consider using an authentication app or security key method instead." "These methods require you to have physical possession of the authentication method and are a great way to ensure your account is secure," it added. Meanwhile, last week, Twitter had confirmed that it will charge Rs 650 per month for its Blue service with verification on the web and Rs 900 on <keyword id="6355645" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="android" source="Orion">Android</keyword> and iOS mobile devices in India. In December last year, the micro-blogging platform relaunched its <keyword id="16355941" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="blue-subscription-service" source="Orion">Blue subscription service</keyword> with verification, costing $8 for Android users and $11 for iPhone owners per month globally. Moreover, Blue subscribers in the U.S. can create long tweets of up to 4,000 characters. Blue users will also see 50 per cent fewer ads in their home timeline.

Twitter to limit SMS two-factor authentication to Blue users

Twitter CEO <keyword id="6355315" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="elon-musk" source="Orion">Elon Musk</keyword> took to the microblogging site to announce the return of the coveted "<keyword id="11265742" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="twitter-blue" source="Orion">Twitter Blue</keyword>" tick after it was made unavailable following an increase in fake verified accounts. "Punting relaunch of <keyword id="6380502" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="blue" source="Orion">Blue</keyword> Verified to November 29th to make sure that it is rock solid", <keyword id="364027" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="musk" source="Orion">Musk</keyword> tweeted. The tweet received a number of questions from users, with the <keyword id="107096" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="tesla" source="Orion">Tesla</keyword> CEO answering some of them, adding to the information about changes that will take place on the platform. One user asked, "So are legacy checkmarks for non-corporate/government officials going away?" To this Musk said, "All unpaid legacy Blue checkmarks will be removed in a few months." Another user asked whether people can "change their names once they verify". The multi-billionaire's response was 'With the new release, changing your verified name will cause loss of checkmark until your name is confirmed by Twitter to meet Terms of Service." According to a report by The Verge, Twitter pulled off the service, which cost 7.99 USD for a verified 'blue check mark', in a matter of days after its release. This drastic decision was taken due to a sharp rise in fake verified accounts on the platform. The chaos began with a fake Nintendo account which posted the image of the well-known game character Mario raising a middle finger at the Twitter bird. Meanwhile, another fake Twitter account emerged for 'Eli Lilly', the pharmaceutical company. It had tweeted that insulin had become free. The SpaceX owner took the matter into his own hands and tweeted that any account that tried to impersonate someone else would be disabled unless its user declared it as a parody account. Twitter had originally launched a service for its iOS users that allowed them to get a blue verification tick on their profiles.

Earlier, it was reported that the company had planned to charge users $19.99 per month for verification. According to the report, Twitter Blue, the company's $4.99 per month optional subscription that unlocked additional features would convert into a more expensive subscription that would also verify users.

Pay $8 to get blue tick on Twitter: Elon Musk

Chaos prevailed on Twitter on Friday when Elon <keyword id="364027" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="musk" source="Orion">Musk</keyword> finally removed all legacy verified accounts with <keyword id="6380502" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="blue" source="Orion">Blue</keyword> check marks but allowed some celebrities to retain it. In India, one has to shell out Rs 900 a month (or Rs 9,400 a year) to get Blue Verified status. As more than 4 lakh legacy verified users bid goodbye to the Blue check marks, some celebrities have been offered a complimentary <keyword id="11265742" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="twitter-blue" source="Orion">Twitter Blue</keyword> subscription "on behalf of Musk". "I am paying for a few personally," said Musk. "Just William Shatner, LeBron James and Stephen King," he added. Stephen King tweeted: "My Twitter account says I've subscribed to Twitter Blue. I haven't. My Twitter account says I've given a phone number. I haven't". Musk replied: "You're welcome namaste." The Pope got downgraded along with Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey. Rihanna and <keyword id="35866" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="taylor-swift" source="Orion">Taylor Swift</keyword> still had Blue ticks but it was not sure if they bought it or Musk allowed those to remain. "Me joining you all tomorrow unverified," tweeted actress Halle Berry, indicating she is not going to pay Musk for the Blue badge.Many other NBA players, like <keyword id="218063" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="stephen-curry" source="Orion">Stephen Curry</keyword>, Zion Williamson, and Ja Morant also lost their blue checks.

<keyword id="6354616" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="twitter" source="Orion">Twitter</keyword> has announced to discontinue ad-free articles for its premium <keyword id="6380502" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="blue" source="Orion">Blue</keyword> subscribers under <keyword id="6355315" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="elon-musk" source="Orion">Elon Musk</keyword> as new CEO. The micro-blogging platform said that it made the decision "to discontinue Ad-free Articles, effective as of close of business, on October 31, 2022". Twitter included ad-free articles when it rolled out its Blue subscription last year for $4.99. A portion of the revenue from <keyword id="11265742" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="twitter-blue" source="Orion">Twitter Blue</keyword> subscription fees went directly to publishers within their network. The feature was based on the platform Twitter acquired from Scroll, a service that specialised in removing ads from news sites. "We will stop displaying the 'Twitter Blue Publisher' label on any tweets containing your articles. We will no longer be sending a Twitter Blue token when people on Twitter access articles from your properties," the micro-blogging platform said in an email sent to publishers. "This will prevent the ad-free experience on your site from loading. There is no change required from your end, but feel free to remove any Twitter Blue code from your site," said the company. The features let Blue users view ad-free articles on participating websites. "This is just the beginning for Ad-free Articles with much more ad-free content to come as we continue to build more partnerships, with more publishers, in more markets," the company had said in November last year. "Our goal is to help each publishing partner make 50 per cent more per person than they would have made from serving ads to that person," it added.

The subscription fee for the service is ₹1,450 per month if you subscribe through the app on your Android/ iPhone. However, subscribing through the web will cost you less, at ₹1,099 per month. Meta won't have to share a cut with Google/Apple for web subscriptions. Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of Meta Verified in February to increase authenticity and security across Meta services. The service was first launched in Australia and New Zealand and was later rolled out in the US after good results from early testing. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What Meta verified badge offers" comment="subhead" text="What Meta verified badge offers">What Meta verified badge offers</cmsannotation> Mark Zuckerberg said that Meta Verified aims to improve its services' authenticity and security. Subscribing to Meta Verified will give you a verified badge, and Meta will protect your account from impersonation attempts. This means that if anyone tries to impersonate you, Meta will take action to stop them. As a subscriber, you can access real customer support instead of a bot. You can contact Meta for assistance if you can't see a user's profile picture. Moreover, Meta claims that paying the monthly fees will increase your visibility and expand your reach. Your content will appear more frequently in people's feeds, search results, and comments.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Get Verified on Facebook and Instagram with Meta Verified in India

According to a report in Axios, White House director of digital strategy, <keyword id="17004455" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rob-flaherty" source="Orion">Rob Flaherty</keyword>, has sent guidance to the staffers via an email. "It is our understanding that <keyword id="11265742" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="twitter-blue" source="Orion">Twitter Blue</keyword> does not provide person-level verification as a service. Thus, a blue check mark will now simply serve as a verification that the account is a paid user," the email read. The guidance doesn't necessarily apply to government agencies, but according to the report, citing a source familiar with White House plans, it may send guidance to some agencies and departments in the future. Some White House officials, like the President and Vice President, will likely continue to be verified with a grey checkmark. In his email, Flaherty said that as per Twitter's updated policies, it will no longer be able to guarantee verification for federal agency accounts that do not meet its new eligibility requirements. Meanwhile, the micro-blogging platform Twitter on Friday announced that its 'Verification for Organisations' service is now available globally. According to the company, Verified Organisations is a new way for organisations and their affiliates to differentiate themselves on the micro-blogging platform. Accounts, which are affiliated with the organisation, will receive an affiliate badge on their profile with the business's logo, and will also be featured on the organisation's Twitter profile, showing their connection. "All organisations are vetted before they can join Verified Organisations," the company mentioned. 'Verification for Organisations' service was earlier called 'Blue for Business'.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A <keyword id="22530133" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mass-IT-outage" source="Orion">mass IT outage</keyword> is affecting flights, banks, and supermarkets around the world.</li><li>James Bore, a cybersecurity expert, told BI there's no remote or automatic solution for the problem. </li></ul>Airlines, banks, retailers and healthcare providers are experiencing <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/major-disruptions-airline-bank-london-stock-exchange-microsoft-outage-2024-7">widespread disruptions linked to an IT outage</a> after <keyword id="19895622" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="microsoft" source="keywords">Microsoft</keyword> reported problems linked to an issue at cybersecurity firm <keyword id="20424191" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="crowdstrike" source="keywords">CrowdStrike</keyword>. James Bore, a cybersecurity expert and managing director of Bores Group, told Business Insider the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mass-it-outage-companies-operations-airlines-affected-microsoft-crowdstrike-2024-7">outages appear to have been caused by a tool called Falcon</a> from cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, which is widely used to protect computers from attacks. The tool has a corrupted file that is "knocking out computers, putting them into what's known as the '<keyword id="1659959" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="blue-screen-of-death" source="Orion">blue screen of death</keyword>.'" Bore said the issue can't be fixed automatically as it requires a manual reboot in "safe mode" and deleting the offending file. "There is no automated way to do this. There is no way to pull that file back or send out a new update, meaning every computer affected has to have some manual interaction," he said. Each fix should only take between 30 and 60 seconds, but problems could persist for some time, Bore added. "It depends on how quickly they can deal with the problem at the source, whether they can pull down that file because the way that modern infrastructure works is likely to be replicated across the world in local servers. For CrowdStrike Falcon to pull it down now, changing that, making sure it's updated, that does take time," he said. Ian Thornton-Trump, Cyjax's chief information security officer, told BI that what has been done cannot be undone for those blue-screen machines. "If the machines can be booted in safe mode, they may be able to issue an out-of-band update or patch. That's time-consuming — if the machines are critical, they might actually consider restoring from backup or a shadow copy [a built-in Microsoft recovery feature]." Microsoft and CrowdStrike didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. <h2>How to try to fix your PC</h2><ol><li>Bore said the first step is rebooting your computer, which should give a "safe mode" option once it restarts. (You won't have a network connection, and that's intentional).</li><li>2. Open the File Browser and find where CrowdStrike is installed, probably in a folder called C:\Windows\system32\drivers\Crowdstrike. "Be very careful not to mess with anything else in the system32 folder, as you can cause whole new problems that way," Bore advised.</li><li>In the Crowdstrike folder look for a file called (C-00000291*.sys — then delete that file and reboot the computer. Microsoft wrote in an X post that users can "restore their Windows 365 Cloud PC to a known good state prior to the release of the update" on July 19 to fix the issue and <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-365/business/restore-overview">linked to a guide</a> on how businesses can do so. In a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://azure.status.microsoft/en-gb/status">post</a> on the website of Microsoft's Azure cloud service, the company said it had received reports that switching devices on and off again had worked to restore affected "virtual machines" that run remotely. However, it warned that users might need to switch their machines on and off again as many as 15 times for this method to work.</li></ol>Correction: July 22, 2024 — This story has been updated to clarify the path to the folder where CrowdStrike is usually installed.
