On Thursday, the popular social media platform Twitter initiated the removal of the blue verification tick mark from users’ profiles. This move has resulted in several well-known cricket personalities such as Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Sachin Tendulkar losing their blue ticks on the platform. It is worth noting that not all cricket stars have had their blue check marks removed, and some still have them displayed on their profiles. This decision by Twitter to remove the blue tick mark from certain profiles has generated significant interest and speculation among cricket fans and social media users.
New Regulation PolicyÂ
It is worth noting that the removal of the blue verification tick mark from users’ profiles is part of Twitter’s ongoing effort to revamp its verification system. This process started after Elon Musk became the CEO of the company last year. Twitter has been striving to ensure that its verification process is more transparent and effective in verifying the authenticity of user accounts.
It is indeed worth mentioning that while some cricket personalities have lost their blue verification tickmarks, others such as Ravi Ashwin, Suresh Raina, AB de Villiers, and Kevin Pietersen, have been able to retain their blue ticks on their profiles. It is speculated that this could be due to their subscription to Twitter Blue.
ICC and BCCI lose Blue Tick too
Interestingly, it is not just individual cricket players who have lost their verification status, but also cricket organizations such as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and International Cricket Council (ICC), who do not have the verification status on their Twitter profiles.
The removal of the blue tickmark from high-profile sports personalities has generated significant reactions and discussions among social media users. It has led to questions about Twitter’s verification process, the criteria for receiving the blue tickmark, and the impact of Twitter Blue on the verification system
Furthermore, Twitter’s recent introduction of its paid subscription service, “Twitter Blue,” requires users to pay a monthly subscription fee to access certain features, including the ability to obtain the blue verification tick mark. This has led to speculation that the removal of the blue tick mark from certain profiles may be part of an effort to incentivize users to subscribe to Twitter Blue.
