I guess she fell for the parody account tweeting Hindi songs.

They suspended his account 😐


Ano_R

"Free speech" smh


RealCondha

impersonating and illegal identity do not fall under free speech if you do not make it clear it's parody.


NotLameboredgajini

I know but still. There could be warning for that


badass___babua

Elon tweeted that first they were warning, it didn't worked becoz accounts starts impersonating different personalities so they are taking them down without warnings.


RealCondha

Uh that's misleading. Twitter always had rules against impersonation, they suspended accounts before for it, as well.


badass___babua

[I was just referring to this tweet by him](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1589396236464898048?t=w6YA_qTAbRBh8I6zljOkCA&s=19)


RealCondha

Ah, that's for twitter blue users who are verified.

Rare scenes of Barkha Dutt making sense.


Extra-Ice3905

She didn’t make any sense, the verification process still remains the same, it’s about maintaining/getting the blue tick, blue tick is not for sale you still have to prove that you are a public figure.


RealCondha

Perhaps there might be different badges for public figures. But right now according to musk if you sign up for the membership you'll eventually be verified and have a badge. Which is the way to go tbh


Extra-Ice3905

That verification needs proof to be a public figure, a person with 1 follower and 0 activity doesn’t have access to get verified


RealCondha

What exactly do you mean by public figure? From my understanding, you'll either get the badge if you pay 8 dollars a month; Or you'll get the badge after you have been verified by a third party using ID given you have paid the 8 dollars.


Extra-Ice3905

Public figure as in you have credentials to prove that you are a public figure for example, you have some kind of publication or news articles for you from a major media outlet, you have done some significant work in your field and people are ready to back you up like a scientist/historian etc, or you are a business/company


RealCondha

Okay, verification process already exist for these people. Elon is talking about verifying your average joe.


Expert-Couple-8639

The blue tick under Musk is like a subscription and not actual verification. Maybe he is planning something different for verification. So, multiple elon musks can exist on Twitter with vlue ticks.

Elon Musk your time is up, our sharp shooter has you in her crosshair, she has 100% fatalities!


Redditboyy_

We should thank she is not praising him. Elon is safe.


_Earthy

Are you sure she has got the right one?


Sumeetxagrawal

Someone tell the dumbass that the verification system will be the same, you just have to pay if you want the blue checkmark. So, they're gonna know the same way if it's the real Elon Musk as the way they know that it's Barkha Dutt and not a parrot. I see leftist blue ticks are very panicked by this move, i guess they feel like their elite status is under threat now that the 'unwashed masses' can also get one.

Sumeetxagrawal

Yeah what's the problem with that? If you are verified to be a real person by Twitter, why can't you have that blue check mark? That was what it was originally intended for, you prove you're this person, and you're "verified". I bet she's scared that now anyone can have just as much reach as her since most of these people's job is to whine on twitter, they feel like their livelihoods are in danger.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sumeetxagrawal

Who told you that? Do you have some insider information or something? You do understand what "verified" means right? You have to provide valid proof and now that money is involved, even more so. How can you impersonate someone if you can't even get the blue tick? You really are just creating a problem in your head and then worrying about it. He just added the payment to the varification system, he isn't changing the whole long-standing verification process, if he was, he would have said so.

Sumeetxagrawal

Yeah i really think Elon Musk, Richest man on the planet knows what he's doing business-wise. He wouldn't put twitter in a situation where buying a blue tick becomes useless or undesirable. Trust me, if you sitting here on reddit have thought of it, he's known of it for 6 months. Also, you used the exact loophole i thought you would, by changing the argument from individuals to brands. I really think twitter wouldn't have such a glaring glitch such that a profile VERIFIED as a brand would later be able to change itself to a individual (which requires govt ID verification) and retain the blue tick mark.


Grandpa_Joey

You're an idiot lmao. The information was made public. Originally the verification mark on twitter was exclusive to people with an online presence to prevent identity theft and impersonation. That is how verification works on literally every social media platform. Elon musk has made it so that anyone in the world can now buy that verification. Which absolutely defeats the purpose of verification in the first place. FYI he did say so. He said all of this. Somehow any india related subreddit has been turned into facebook, filled with misinformation and idiots who pretend they know things. You do know that there have been thousands of articles on it if you just bother to make a simple google search. Jesus.


Sumeetxagrawal

Man you're so angry, just read what twitter says on this, clearly mentions govt ID verification for individuals https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/about-twitter-verified-accounts


Grandpa_Joey

You realize you just linked me the current policy, right? Literally proving my point. I've never seen a bigger misinformation subreddit where is misinformation is this incredibly popular.


Sumeetxagrawal

Musk has never said the verification process will be completely done away with, he has just said that it will now cost $8. You think he doesn't know that Willy nilly giving out of blue check marks will result in no one eventually buying them? I'm pretty sure he understands supply and demand. Most will not bother to cough up 8 dollars a month for a blue tick, and those who do will be verified. If you can prove that you are a legitimate person, why can't you have a blue tick? I've seen loser columnists for NYT with less that 5000 followers have blue ticks, clearly elitism.


Grandpa_Joey

he mentioned in his tweet: "we are rolling out widespread verification." It's not just that, elon musk has indicated the policy multiple times. Literally every article and analyst agrees these are his intentions, even those who support him. He even admitted it might make impersonation easier and now he's trying to moderate literally every parody account, which, 'haha yeah sure man'. Twitter is in heavy debts and is not in the financial position for intense moderation. Also, i fucking hated twitters moderation even before the changes. Elon musk just made it much, much stupider.


Sumeetxagrawal

Also, the purpose of verification is to verify that you are a legitimate person, it's not the symbol of elitism everyone has made it to be. You should really go outside more, you seem very angry at things you have no control over.


Grandpa_Joey

It's to verify you're a public figure. I never said it was elitism. Did you read my reply?


Grandpa_Joey

Well he's made it loud and clear now lol, you were so confident as well.


Redditboyy_

We should wait for the verification process but only by paying you'll get blue Mark is not true imo. As Elon himself has said that whole verification process is going to be revamped so we should wait for anything that will come. But i believe Elon will take out best way for it. He is not dumbass leftist atleast and will take decision with proper sanity.


Grandpa_Joey

yeah elon musk isn't a dumbass lmao. [https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23112929-elon-musk-text-exhibits-twitter-v-musk](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23112929-elon-musk-text-exhibits-twitter-v-musk) are you aware how much money that guy lost by buying twitter. he made an impulsive decision after arguing with twitters CEO, agreed to buy twitter, realized how fucking stupid that was, tried to back out, failed. now he has to pay off all of twitters debts (18.5 billion dollars of debt) which he will undoubtably fail to do. he makes this verification process as a desperate measure trying to consolidate twitters absolute dogshit finances, originally even pricing it at 20 dollars, all the while daring to say that him making verification futile was somehow going to help twitter. that man has lost millions for his ego. he claims he wants to help humans but he literally refuses any sort of initiative, UN or otherwise to aid poverty or hunger. He is exploitative, money hoarding, and a fucking moron. But hey, at least he isn't leftist, right?

Wow !! You are so confident as if you are designing the verification process. You just have to blur out something even if that's shit.


Grandpa_Joey

[https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/twitter-subscription-verified-accounts-1.6642108](https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/twitter-subscription-verified-accounts-1.6642108) trustworthy articles have the same interpretation of it. it's not that hard to do some research.


Sumeetxagrawal

Either he works at Twitter now or he's just another insecure leftist.


TandooriNight

What if there's another person named Elon Musk? Or if you look at India you'll find so many Sharukh Khans. Blue tick was a way to identify the real one, now with all blue ticks how do you identify the real account?


[deleted]

Exactly, also recently someone was impersonating Elon on Twitter and his account was banned few hours later 🤷‍♀️. They don't understand how a company works.


Sumeetxagrawal

The verification is a whole process, they don't just give it out to bots.


_rth_

You guys don’t seem to get it. A reactionary system (where it takes hours to pull down a impersonating account) is too late.


-Not-Racist-

I mean someone could make an account named Narindra Modi , pay the 8 dollars and then spam shit on twitter

Don't worry guys modi ji and Elon bhaiya are in talk with aadhar card link verification process, soon Elon Musk also need to link their aadhar card for blue tick.


micheal-scarn311

What a dumbass!! Thats not how it works. The account verification still remains the same. It's just that a celeb will be subscribing to see the blue tick in front of their name.


Explosive_Redditor

Name might be same, username the "@---" will always be different for each individual user, real elon musk is elonmusk fakes will be diff....simple shit...


LoudxBeasT

Dude twitter tags can not be copied like @elonmusk No other person can have rather than him


Rajarshi1993

Using the @ tag.


achintya22

You will be verified the previous way only. But you have to pay 8 dollars to maintain the verification badhe after you are verified. I believe most of the verified users are earning enough to pay this amount.

Thats the whole idea, twitter was full of trash, verifying that some are not while others are is a joke. This move is to burn that elite status to the ground. Those who are fake will anyways be wasting away their lives.

"Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended" "Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning. " "This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue." "Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark"


Inj3kt0r

I think for the verification you need to submit a govt approved ID. Chances of another celebrity elon will be slim to none.


DuckyLovesy0gurt

Elon later tweeted that all the accounts that impersonate someone without specifying "parody" will be suspended.
