Twitter’s review system is now completely useless after the last confusing update – 15 favorite replies

Twitter’s old blue ticks were supposed to have been cleared over the weekend, but the verification icon that originally confirmed an account was who they said it was has so far remained — with a sneaky twist.

The embassy that used to be called “This is an old verified account. It may or may not be remarkable.” says now “This account is verified because it is subscribed to Twitter Blue or is an old verified account.”

This is a silly 4D chess level that we haven’t seen before. Impressive 👏 pic.twitter.com/3YiH4t4oTF

I look forward to the first major breaking news where it’s impossible to tell the difference between reporters on the ground and a guy who has decided to pay £8 a month
