Twitter has halted the sale of blue checkmarks
This event occurs just a few days after the launch of the $8 Twitter Blue service, where a multitude of fake accounts paid $8 and received the blue verification checkmark, pretending to be another well-known company or individual.
A knowledgeable source at Twitter told Bloomberg News that there will be no issues for those who have purchased the Twitter Blue account, and subscribers to this service can access their accounts. However, the purchase of blue checkmarks on Twitter has been temporarily suspended for an unspecified period.
In recent days, purchasing Twitter Blue and the blue checkmark was only possible through the iOS app. However, users have received the following message during recent purchase attempts:
Thank you for your interest. Twitter Blue will be available in your country in the future. Please check back later.
