Twitter To Permanently Suspend Accounts Impersonating Without Specifying 슬롯사이트�Parody슬롯사이트�, Warns Elon Musk

Boston, Nov 7: Elon Musk tweeted Sunday that Twitter will permanently suspend any account on the social media platform that impersonates another.

The platform's new owner issued the warning after some celebrities changed their Twitter display names 슬롯사이트� not their account names 슬롯사이트� and tweeted as Elon Musk' in reaction to the billionaire's decision to offer verified accounts to all comers for $8 month.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Tanzania Plane Crash: Death Toll Rises to 19 After Small Passenger Aircraft Crashes Into Lake Victoria in Bukoba (Watch Video).

슬롯사이트�Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying 슬롯사이트�parody슬롯사이트� will be permanently suspended,슬롯사이트� Musk wrote. While Twitter previously issued warnings before suspensions, now that it is rolling out 슬롯사이트�widespread verification, there will be no warning.슬롯사이트�

In fact, 슬롯사이트�any name change at all슬롯사이트� would compel the temporary loss of a verified checkmark, the world's richest man said.

Comedian Kathy Griffin had her account suspended Sunday for switching her screen name to Musk. Actress Valerie Bertinelli had done the same 슬롯사이트� posting a series of tweets in support of Democratic candidates on Saturday before switching back to her true name. 슬롯사이트�Okey-dokey. I've had fun and I think I made my point,슬롯사이트� she tweeted afterwards.

Before the stunt, Bertinelli noted the original purpose of the blue verification checkmark. It was granted free of charge to people whose identity Twitter employees had confirmed; with journalists accounting for a big portion of recipients. 슬롯사이트�It simply meant your identity was verified. Scammers would have a harder time impersonating you,슬롯사이트� Bertinelli noted.

슬롯사이트�That no longer applies. Good luck out there!슬롯사이트� she added. The $8 verified accounts are Musk's way of democratizing the service, he claims. On Saturday, a Twitter update for iOS devices listed on Apple's app store said users who 슬롯사이트�sign up now슬롯사이트� for the new 슬롯사이트�Twitter Blue with verification슬롯사이트� can get the blue check next to their names 슬롯사이트�just like the celebrities, companies and politicians you already follow.슬롯사이트�

It said the service would first be available in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K. However, it was not available Sunday and there was no indication when it would roll go live. A Twitter employ, Esther Crawford, told The Associated Press it is coming 슬롯사이트�soon but it hasn't launched yet.슬롯사이트�

Twitter did not respond on Sunday to an email seeking comment.

If the company were to strip current verified users of blue checks 슬롯사이트� something that hasn't happened 슬롯사이트� that could exacerbate disinformation on the platform during Tuesday's midterm elections.

Some Twitter users have already begun migrating from the platform 슬롯사이트� to alternatives such as Mastodon and Counter Social 슬롯사이트� following layoffs that began Friday that reportedly affected about half of Twitter's 7,500-employee workforce. They fear a breakdown of moderation and verification could create a disinformation free-for-all on what has been the internet's main conduit for reliable communications from public agencies and other institutions.

Many companies have paused advertising on the platform out of concern it could become more unruly under Musk.

Yoel Roth, Twitter's head of safety and integrity, sought to assuage such concerns in a tweet Friday. He said the company's front-line content moderation staff was the group least affected by the job cuts.

Musk tweeted late Friday that there was no choice but to cut jobs 슬롯사이트�when the company is losing over $4M/day.슬롯사이트� He did not provide details on the daily losses at Twitter and said employees who lost their jobs were offered three months' pay as severance.
