A number of celebrities have regained their blue ticks, seemingly without action on their part, including author Stephen King and former US president Donald TrumpTwitter's blue ticks were reinstated on some media, celebrity, and other high profile accounts Saturday -- a move protested by many of the recipients.
Only a tiny fraction of blue-ticked users subscribed -- less than 5 percent of the 407,000 profiles affected, according to Travis Brown, a Berlin-based software developer who tracks social-media platforms. The Times is among the major media groups that have a gold tick reserved for an"official business account" paying at least $1,000 a month.
Twitter removed these labels on Friday, including those applied to China's official news agency Xinhua and Russia's RT.Many who unwillingly gained blue ticks made it clear that they had not subscribed, as the badge became a symbol of support for Musk.
