"Seule une partie infime des anciens usagers distingués se sont abonnés [à la formule à 8$] − moins de 5% des 407 000 profils concernés (...). Vendredi et samedi, un nombre croissant de personnalités ont retrouvé une coche bleue, apparemment sans action de leur part, comme l’écrivain #StephenKing, le champion de NBA #LeBronJames ou l’ancien président #DonaldTrump."

#Twitter : des badges bleus de certification attribués sans consentement

"Twitter’s API service, after its changes, lets users post 1,500 tweets per month for free. Beyond that, prices can increase steeply — the hobbyist-oriented Basic tier lets users post 3,000 tweets for $100 a month, and a “low-cost” enterprise plan could reportedly soar as high as $42,000. And for many emergency accounts, the free tier won’t be enough."

Being lumped together with paid #TwitterBlue subs is *not* going to sit well with legacy verified subscribers.

Twitter’s wind down of its legacy verified program has been chaotically executed, and subject to the whims of its new CEO. Accounts still have their checkmarks, which no longer specify whether they’re legacy or Twitter Blue.
1. Change user name under account information.
2. After confirming and saving, change user name back immediately if desired.
3. Check mark gone.
Still suspending most activity on there but now that E Mu is commingling legacy and paid check marks, eff that.
Far too late - who knows how many copies of the leaked code are out in the wild by now?

"An internal investigation is underway at Twitter, but executives were apparently only made aware of the leak recently. It's believed that whoever leaked the code left Twitter last year, meaning it's possible the individual is someone #ElonMusk fired after taking control of the company in October."

Your helpful reminder from the OWNER OF TWITTER not to use Twitter for communication.
When clicking on a link posted to Twitter, users were shown a black window with text that stated, "Your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint."
