Well begin replacing that official label with a gold checkmark for businesses, and later in the week a grey checkmark for government and multilateral accounts, Twitter said, adding that subscribers will be able to change their handle, display name or profile photo, but if they do theyll temporarily lose the blue checkmark until their account is reviewed again.
In late October, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk finalized the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, a US company founded in 2006 with its headquarters located in San Francisco, California. Following the takeover, Musk changed the companys day-to-day operations, including the termination of Twitter executives who were responsible for the platforms privacy, cybersecurity and censorship, as well as about two-thirds of Twitters employees.
On Friday, Musk said that the company had been working on a software update to let users know if they were shadowbanned and why.
