Twitter will not allow newly made accounts to be able to purchase the Blue subscription service for 90 days, after the service relaunches.
According to The Verge report, this implies that users won’t be able to instantly authenticate a new account for verification.
It might be an effort to lessen the likelihood of fraud and fake accounts.
According to the report, the old plan didn’t specify a waiting period, but it did have a warning that “Twitter accounts created on or after November 9, 2022, will be unable to subscribe to Twitter Blue at this time”.
The new Twitter Blue page says that the platform “may also impose waiting periods for new accounts in the future at our discretion without notice.”
Recently, Twitter CEO Elon Musk had said that the micro-blogging platform will relaunch its $8 Blue subscription service with verification from November 29, this time more “rock solid”.
He also said that with the new release, “changing your verified name will cause loss of check mark until the name is confirmed by Twitter to meet Terms of Service”.
Just after one week of launch, Twitter paused the Blue service after many=y fake accounts flooded the micro blogging platform, while impersonating brands and celebrities.
