After the announcement in April and the indecisions of the following months, on October 28, Elon Musk made the acquisition of Twitter official for 44 billion dollars, sealing it with the tweet " the bird is freed ". The reign of Musk, self-proclaimed interim CEO, began with the dismissal of about half of the employees, including many C-level, and with some decisions that give us a glimpse of what the future of the new Twitter will be. Twitter Blue: the rights that can be bought with $8 To understand it we need to start from the reasons that led to the acquisition. The head of Tesla and SpaceX has always said that his goal is to make social media " an inclusive arena for freedom of expression ".
The mission is laudable, but how to achieve it in practice? The proposed India Mobile Number Data solution is to reduce moderation to a minimum (the team that deals with it has been downsized) and introduce the payment of a subscription to Twitter Blue (which goes from $4.99 to $7.99 per month). The new Twitter Blue, represented by the blue badge with the white check next to the name, gives the right: to obtain the status of verified account (which was previously attributed free of charge to figures of public importance, identified by Twitter) to the priority of their tweets in search results, mentions and replies to be exposed to half the advertising that the unverified see to post longer videos to have access to new features in development before others This new function conflicts with the previously existing system. In recent years the blue rosette has been awarded free of charge and unilaterally by the company to noteworthy accounts (celebrities, politicians, companies, newspapers, journalists and experts) in order to provide a service to all users: indicating important and truthful accounts.
What will happen to those rosettes? Will they be taken away from everyone? I think so. Mine still holds up, but perhaps because Twitter Blue isn't available in Italy (it's only active in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand and the UK). Meanwhile, a new rosette with a tick and the indication " Official " has been introduced and is granted to politicians, institutions, commercial and political organisations, major brands, the media and some important personalities. There is great confusion under the sky, but what is clear is the design of the new Twitter. Why paid Twitter From a purely financial point of view, charging users for some additional services is perfectly understandable.
