Pope Francis, other famous names lose Twitter verified blue status FMTNews FMTBusiness
Pope Francis, who has more than 53 million Twitter followers, lost his profile’s blue checkmark on Thursday.
Musk said in November that Twitter will begin charging US$8 per month for the badge in an effort to launch more revenue streams beyond advertising. The company later offered checkmarks in other colours – gold for businesses and a gray for government and multilateral organisations and officials. “While awaiting to know the platform’s new policies, the Holy See hopes they will include certification of the authenticity of the accounts,” it said.
Musk tweeted separately: “I’m paying for a few personally.” and later tweeted “Just Shatner, LeBron and King,” referring to Star Trek actor William Shatner, who had last month complained about being forced to pay to keep his blue checkmark.
