Twitter intensifies removal of the verification seal for profiles that do not subscribe to Twitter Blue; see affected accounts

Among the Brazilian profiles that lost verification, we can highlight that of Felipe neto. The influencer has more than 16 million followers on the social network and, from the beginning, was against Twitter's new policy.

Abroad, names that are among the biggest artists in international music have lost their seals. Justin Bieber, with 113 million followers, and Beyoncé, with 15 million, are no longer verified in the Twitter.

Despite criticism, some artists chose to pay the TwitterBlue – is the case of Taylor Swift. When clicking on the blue badge on the singer's profile, the following warning appears: “This account is verified because you signed up for Twitter Blue and verified your phone number”. The singer Anitta is also paying for the service and keeps it verified.

Meanwhile, others abandon Twitter

The changes implemented by Elon Musk Since becoming the owner of the Blue Bird network, they have accelerated the departure of some profiles from the network.

Recently, the NPR, the largest public radio in the United States, has decided to leave the network. This week the Swedish Sveriges Radio, one of the most influential in Europe, also said “bye” to Musk.

A PBS North American and Canadian CBC left Twitter last week. Among celebrities, Elton John was one of the first to abandon the network in the Musk era. Before him, Shonda Rhimes, Whoopi Goldberg, Toni Braxton and Gigi Hadid didn't even wait to see what the new Twitter would become and left.

It's in Brazil?

Here in Brazil, some celebrities aligned with leftist movements also said goodbye to Twitter: Pabllo Vittar, Pokah, Chico Pinheiro and Rafael Portugal left the network even before Musk's adventures.

Earlier this week, the former banker, businessman and influencer Eduardo Moreira, who had an account with more than 330 thousand followers, announced that he would be leaving Musk's network. “A place that not only tolerates hate but promotes hate in order to reap results”, argued in a video on youtube.
