Twitter has removed the blue tick from the accounts of many eminent people in the country and the world. The names of many ministers and leaders including former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, ministers TS Singhdev, Ravindra Choubey, Kawasi Lakhma and Saroj Pandey are included in this list.
Apart from this, the blue tick is also not visible in the account of the state in-charge of both the parties i.e. Congress’s state in-charge Kumari Selja and BJP’s state in-charge Om Mathur. Twitter has also removed blue ticks from the accounts of Ministers Amarjit Bhagat, Shiv Dahria, Anila Bhediya, Premsai Singh Tekam, Guru Rood Kumar. Apart from this, blue tick verification has also been removed from the accounts of BJP President Arun Shaw, former ministers Brijmohan Agarwal and Ajay Chandrakar. Blue ticks remain intact in the accounts of these leaders and ministers.
The number of such leaders whose blue tick is still visible in their Twitter account is very less. In Chhattisgarh, the Twitter accounts of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, State Congress President Mohan Markam, Minister Jaisingh Agarwal, Parliamentary Secretary Vikas Upadhyay and Leader of Opposition Narayan Chandel still have blue ticks. Musk had already announced
Twitter owner Alan Mast had already announced that from April 20, blue ticks will be removed from all legacy verified accounts and now only those who spend money will get the monthly or yearly plan of blue ticks in Twitter. In such a situation, the blue tick has been removed from the account of those who have not spent money for the monthly plan.
Here we are telling you in detail about Twitter’s Blue, Gold and Gray ticks, let’s know in detail…
Blue tick
Earlier the blue tick used to show that this Twitter account is active, notable and authentic. Which Twitter used to independently verify on the public interest base. Now, through the new verification system, Twitter is giving blue ticks to accounts that are subscribing to it.
Recently, Twitter was told that it would start phasing out its legacy verification program from April 1. Under this, the company will start removing blue ticks from the accounts of users who have not subscribed. However, till now the blue tick has not been removed from the already verified accounts by Twitter.
Twitter Blue subscription costs Rs 900 a month in India
Blue subscription costs Rs 900 per month for iOS and Android smartphone users in India. And for web users, the monthly subscription of this service is Rs 650. Twitter is giving many special features to the users taking subscription, which includes long tweets of 4000 characters.
Gold tick
If you look at the official Twitter account of Adani Group, you will see a gold tick on it. Also, the profile picture in this account is showing in a square instead of a round one. According to Twitter, the gold tick indicates that this is an official business Twitter account. Like Blue Tick, Gold Tick is also not available free of cost.
For Gold Tick, the organization has to pay 1000 dollars (about 81 thousand 842 rupees) every month. Not only this, the organization with Gold Tick also has to pay an extra charge of $ 50 i.e. about 4 thousand rupees every month for other accounts linked to its Twitter account. If you look at the official account of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, you will see a gray tick next to his name. Additionally, Twitter accounts with gray ticks also display a flag label indicating the account’s designation. However, many gray tick accounts do not even have a flag label. For example, Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account has got a gray tick, but it does not have a flag label.
Gray ticks are given to governments, multilateral organizations, multilateral officials and some senior leaders. There is also gray tick on the Twitter account of United Nations and WHO, which are multilateral organizations, till now there is no official information about gray tick from Twitter that for this also, do you have to pay for gold and blue tick?
