Which will not be able to be bought

The developments at Twitter are stormy after its acquisition by Elon Musk. Following the announcement that everyone will be able to have the famous blue tick for $8 a month, the VP of subscription Twitter Blue, Esther Crawford, announced that the official accounts will have a second certification to be able to stand out. Specifically, he said that ” selected ” accounts will also have a second ” official ” marking.

A lot of folks have asked about how you'll be able to distinguish between @TwitterBlue subscribers with blue checkmarks and accounts that are verified as official, which is why we’re introducing the “Official" label to select accounts when we launch. pic.twitter.com/0p2Ae5nWpO

According to Crawford, the official mark will be reserved for ” government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media and publishers, and some public figures .” It is not yet clear what the conditions will be for the “official” status, but he emphasized that ” not all previously certified accounts will get it ” and that ” the official marking is not for sale “.

Not all previously verified accounts will get the “Official” label and the label is not available for purchase. Accounts that will receive it include government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, publishers and some public figures.

Of course this change partially defeats the goal of getting the blue tick, and the fact that Twitter will decide which accounts will be “official” brings criticism about which accounts it decides are worthy of attention. In any case, the “official” marking is expected to come in the next few days.
