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

If you open X or TikTok right now, you might be convinced that Vice President<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/business-leaders-that-kamala-harris-could-recruit-for-cabinet-2024-10"> Kamala Harris</a> is going to win the presidential election in a landslide. Donald Trump's lead is disappearing, even in red states, people say, pointing to fringe polls and purported quotes from campaign insiders. Florida and Texas are turning blue. More women and young people have registered to vote. And some believe the stars are aligning and astrological clues point to her definitive ascendence to the top job.Or, depending on what your feed looks like, you might see that Trump has this one in the bag. These believers cite a flood of MAGA hats in California, or a phalanx of children dressed as Trump (and, disturbingly, Trump's would-be assassin) for Halloween in blue Philadelphia. Or that there's less support for Harris among some demographics in swing states compared to when President <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-biden-maga-supporters-puerto-rico-election-2024-10">Joe Biden</a> won in 2020. New Hampshire and Virginia are turning red. Even X owner and Trump megadonor Elon Musk is extrapolating and framing early voting data to prematurely declare the prized swing state of Pennsylvania "will be a decisive Republican victory."In an election cycle where national and swing-state polls have been neck and neck for weeks, voters are taking to X and TikTok to confidently declare their candidate will win decisively. It's a response to a time of extreme anxiety and uncertainty, when Americans are more polarized than ever and have been told "this will be the last election" if their candidate does not win. There are maps covered in blue and opposing ones covered in red, with Electoral College predictions swaying wildly. "Harris is about to win in a blowout," one says. Others, Musk included, point to an electoral map based on Polymarket election-betting odds, rather than polls, as evidence that Trump will win. Each individual post might not be so significant — if it weren't for powerful algorithms on TikTok and X that relentlessly push such posts out to others.This is the type of content that social sites' algorithms have long loved. Social-media conversations gather around extremes. People at the farthest ends of the ideological spectrum are most likely to post their views on social media, a 2021 study from the Pew Research Center found. Social platforms' algorithms reward "this strong confidence and extreme opinions and engenders extreme reactions," says Ioana Literat, an associate professor at Columbia University's Teachers College and the coauthor of "Not Your Parents' Politics: Understanding Young People's Political Expression on Social Media." "If there's a video that says, 'Polls are too close to tell,' that's not going to be the post that gets the most likes."While the algorithms are in part to blame, we also have a deeply human aversion to uncertainty. To quiet the noise, we surround ourselves with others who feel confident that our shared candidate will win.Other social platforms have sought to disentangle themselves from this kind of divisive political speech. In 2016, much brazen political dialogue took place on Facebook, where your opinionated uncle posted misinformation with abandon. For the past few years, Meta has pushed news out of Facebook feeds. And earlier this year, the company made further moves to de-emphasize political content on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. All of this follows accusations that Facebook basically "destroyed democracy," as Megan Smith, the former chief technology officer of the United States, put it. Despite the efforts to change, deceptive political ads are still widespread on Facebook and Instagram, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propublica.org/article/facebook-instagram-meta-deceptive-political-ads-election">ProPublica reported</a> this week. Meta's "enforcement systems had already detected and disabled a large portion of the Pages — and we reviewed and took action against the remainder of these Pages for various policy violations," Tracy Clayton, a Meta spokesperson, said in a statement to ProPublica.Since the 2016 and 2020 elections, the political reach of both X and TikTok have grown. A recent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/10/29/elon-musk-x-republican-democrat-twitter-election/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzMwMTc0NDAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzMxNTYwMzk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MzAxNzQ0MDAsImp0aSI6ImRjZjEzNDYxLTBlNjEtNGNhYy1hODE2LTMxNmIyZmRiNDcyMiIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2d5LzIwMjQvMTAvMjkvZWxvbi1tdXNrLXgtcmVwdWJsaWNhbi1kZW1vY3JhdC10d2l0dGVyLWVsZWN0aW9uLyJ9._swxWtRAVNu7JUVWoRNfQo9uNEN8IbkWnVcw-C_22eg">Washington Post analysis</a> of X published this week found that Republican leaders are gaining followers and going viral more often since Musk took over the platform. A <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/x-twitter-political-content-election-2024-28f2dadd">Wall Street Journal analysis</a> found that newly created X accounts were often fed political content, even if they signed up looking for other topics, and that content leaned more heavily toward pro-Trump sentiments. (X did not respond to a request to comment on this story.) Meanwhile, half of the 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed by the Pew Research Center saying they watch political content on TikTok. A TikTok spokesperson declined to comment for this story but directed me to a webpage that says TikTok's policy is to label "unverified election claims, make them ineligible for recommendation, and prompt people to reconsider before sharing them."The overconfident rhetoric isn't just polarizing; it could have more dangerous implications. "If one side is expecting the race to be a blowout and the other side wins, that sort of lays the groundwork for broad support for challenging the results," says Sol Messing, a research associate professor at New York University's Center for Social Media and Politics. (Messing previously worked for Twitter but says he volunteered to be laid off when Musk bought the platform in 2022, and he refused severance to avoid signing a non-disparagement agreement.) "Parts of this may reflect this broader, far-right strategy," he added.On X, there is now an Election Integrity Community, launched by Musk's America PAC in late October. Here, people are encouraged to "share potential incidents of voter fraud or irregularities you see while voting in the 2024 election" — sightings they would typically report to official government agencies for investigation. Many of the recent posts show clear support for Trump in their claims of voting fraud and interference: On Thursday, one user posted photos of what appeared to be Ohio voting ballots with Trump's name misprinted. Election officials, however, say they have <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/10/31/ohio-election-officials-say-altered-trump-name-on-ballot-likely-a-hoax/75969483007/">not seen such ballots</a>.While Trump has repeatedly said that the only way he'd lose is through election fraud, many posts from candidates and their famous endorsers don't express the same swaggering confidence we see across feeds. Ads for Harris on Instagram implore people to get to the polls and donate more money, calling it "an all-hands-on-deck moment." Michelle Obama says the race "is too close," and "we have to give it everything we've got." And even Trump is back to posting on X, urging people to vote early — a shift from 2020, when he demonized mail-in voting.No one on social media has the answer to what will happen in Tuesday's election. Anxiously reposting or liking election content may feel like the only thing we can do as the clock ticks down. "We know it's a period of really high anxiety," says Literat. "This is definitely shaped by the context. But it's also that content that really offers certainty or that resonates with hope or with fears that's spread more rapidly, too." For now, the best way to alleviate that anxiety might be to get off social media until Tuesday passes.<a target="_blank" rel="" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/author/amanda-hoover">Amanda Hoover</a> is a senior correspondent at Business Insider covering the tech industry.

Twitter and TikTok users' election projections are completely warped. Here's why.

He was sentenced to 56 months in prison in February.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/romance-scams-booming-billions-facebook-instagram-pandemic-isolation-online-dating-2023-3">Romance scams</a> have boomed since the onset of the pandemic, with Americans losing over $1.3 billion to the practice in 2022, up 164% from 2019, Business Insider previously reported. Some 70,000 people in the US reported being a victim of a romance scam in 2022, according to the Federal Trade Commission.In the UK, over £92 million (about $115 million) was lost to romance scams in the same year, according to data from the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau.<h2>Gray used information from driving licenses to scam Tinder dates</h2>"It was shocking," a sister of one of Gray's victims told BBC News. "You see these things happening on TV. You never believe it's going to happen to you, but believe me, it can."Gray engaged in this behavior for several years. In 2018, he matched with a woman BBC News identified as Jessica. On their third date, Jessica went to Gray's apartment and used the bathroom.She told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hvf0v4">BBC News</a>: "I left my bag on his dining table, he went in my bag and took pictures of my driving license and both my bank cards,"A few weeks later, Jessica found out Gray had taken out £1,000 ($1,250) from her bank account and a £9,000 loan (about $11,000).Something similar happened to a woman identified only as Hannah, who had only been seeing Gray for a week when she realized a loan for £20,000 (about $25,000) had been taken out in her name.When Gray showered her with gifts and love declarations — in what has echoes of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/sex-relationships/love-bomb">love bombing</a> — the two got back together.Hannah ended up falling pregnant with Gray's baby without knowing his history. Hannah learned more about Gray when her sister tracked down of his ex-partners and had a conversation with her."There's no way that I'm going to let a child be brought up anywhere near such a vile human," Hannah said. "My world had just literally broken apart in front of my eyes in that half an hour conversation."The third victim, identified as Elizabeth, began dating Gray in 2020.Gray sent her flowers despite her never telling him her address, and she later found out that he had taken a loan out for £10,000 (over $12,000) using information he obtained from her driver's license."You question yourself and your judgment, and it's like, why didn't I listen to my gut?" Elizabeth said. "He was just so good at being the person that you wanted him to be."In an article on its website, Tinder shares tips on how users can protect themselves from romance scammers, including using reverse image search to check if matches are genuine, never sending money online, and making sure that people have <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tinder-id-requirement-verified-drivers-license-passport-video-selfie-2024-2">verified their identity</a> — a new tool the app recently introduced in an attempt to clamp down on scams.In a statement to Business Insider, a Tinder spokesperson said: "The unfortunate reality is that scammers may pull on the heartstrings and prey on those looking for love or connection — not just on dating apps but on all online platforms."The spokesperson added that Tinder acts to help prevent and warn users of potential scams or fraud by using AI tools to detect words and phrases and proactively intervene, and that the platform has implemented various ways to warn users of potential scams or fraud, from in-app features to popup messages and education. "We encourage our users to look for the 'blue tick,' which indicates that the user's age and likeness have been verified through our Photo and ID Verification programs, which require users to submit an official document (either passport or driving license). All users can request that their match be photo-verified prior to messaging. We also partner with NGOs and local authorities to promote awareness of online fraud," the statement said.

How a romance scammer defrauded 3 Tinder dates out of over $100,000

Cybercriminals are profiting from X "Gold" verification badge by selling compromised accounts for phishing and scams on the dark web marketplaces and forums, a new report revealed on Thursday. According to the cybersecurity firm <keyword id="20065627" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="cloudsek" source="keywords">CloudSEK</keyword>, these accounts pose a huge risk for organisations and individuals alike, as they can be used to spread disinformation, launch phishing attacks, and steal sensitive information. X Gold is a paid feature introduced by the Elon Musk-run microblogging platform, which grants accounts a gold badge alongside the blue and grey tick, signifying legitimacy and brand recognition. However, the ease of obtaining <keyword id="20065624" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="twitter-gold" source="keywords">Twitter Gold</keyword> has attracted malicious actors who are purchasing and compromising accounts to further their nefarious activities, the report noted. The researchers found that dark web marketplaces are flooded with advertisements selling X Gold accounts, with prices ranging from $35 for a basic account to $2,000 for accounts with large followings. "The advertisements on the dark web can be traced back to multiple online shops and their marketing partners, such as Facebook, <keyword id="19897633" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="telegram" source="keywords">Telegram</keyword>, etc. Some X account providers have hosted their shops successfully for over four years and used the same medium to advertise Twitter Gold accounts," said <keyword id="20065625" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rishika-desai" source="keywords">Rishika Desai</keyword>, <keyword id="20065626" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="cyber-threat-researcher" source="keywords">Cyber Threat Researcher</keyword> at CloudSEK. "The amount of shops and service providers today is humongous, and most of them can be detected by running simple Google Dorks," she added. According to the report, hackers can use Twitter Gold accounts to send seemingly legitimate tweets containing malicious links that steal personal information, such as login credentials and credit card numbers. They can also spread false information and propaganda through Twitter Gold accounts, potentially impacting public opinion and causing reputational damage. In addition, hackers can use these accounts to promote fake investment opportunities, cryptocurrency scams, and other financial frauds, the report said. Researchers recommended to regularly monitor brand mentions on Twitter and implement strong password policies to protect against account compromise. Be wary of tweets from unknown accounts, especially those with the Gold badge. Do not click on suspicious links or engage with accounts that seem too good to be true.
