New York Times loses Twitter blue tick

The social media giant is charging users for blue tick verification, and the newspaper won’t be paying to display it

 
The New York Times has lost its blue tick on Twitter after it said it would not pay to remain verified.

Twitter has started to remove verification badges from accounts which already had a blue tick.

The company previously announced the tick would be a part of a paid subscription model only.

Organisations who are seeking verification badges instead have to pay $1,000 a month to receive a gold tick, which individual accounts must pay $8 a month for a blue one.

“The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn’t even interesting,” Musk said on Twitter via a tweet.

“Also, their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It’s unreadable.”

Since December, Twitter has introduced three different coloured verification badges: gold ticks are used for business organisations, grey ticks are for government-affiliated accounts or multilateral organisations, and blue ticks are used for individual accounts.
