This article was updated to include information about a Twitter policy to temporarily remove checkmarks from verified accounts that change their profile pictures. Twitter offered only an auto-response to The Intercept’s request for comment ahead of publication. The article was previously updated to note that Twitter restored UAW’s Twitter verification after publication.
Musk is an asshat, but it sounds like this is existing Twitter policy.
He’s always going to run Twitter like it’s his own personal plaything. He’s incapable of understanding that what he purchased is not a toy put there solely for his enjoyment. It’s been ruined, he’s not going to get better, it would be best if everyone just left en masse and let it die like Reddit
To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, “Busy now, please check back later.” (To be fair, in this case “check back later” is a good summary of what happened.)
