CTOnews.com, April 25 (Xinhua) Twitter's verification system has been thrown into chaos in recent days, giving blue or gold certification logos to many celebrities and organizations and claiming that they have subscribed to the paid service Twitter Blue, which is not the case.

Twitter Blue is a $8 monthly value-added feature launched by Tesla CEO Musk after the acquisition of Twitter (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 55 yuan), including canceling sending, editing tweets, theme mode and other functions. Musk also scrapped the previous authentication mechanism, where only paying customers can get the blue mark, while companies and organizations have to pay $1000 a month to get the gold mark.

However, the change has sparked dissatisfaction and protest from many users, especially celebrities and organizations that already have blue marks. They believe that this is a kind of extortion and extortion by Musk, and it also harms their reputation and authority. Some celebrities even declared on Twitter that they did not subscribe to Twitter Blue and had not verified their mobile phone numbers, which were automatically attached to their accounts by Twitter.

Even more bizarre, Twitter has issued blue marks to some dead celebrities, such as basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, actor Chadwick Bosman, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and so on. Twitter also claimed that these people subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their mobile phone numbers. This is undoubtedly a disrespect for the dead and makes Twitter's verification system ridiculous.

In addition to handing out certification logos to some people, Twitter made an even bigger mistake: they issued a gold mark to a fake account of Disney's UK branch, calling it "the official organization on Twitter". The fake account has only more than 1,000 followers and posted some racist comments on Twitter. When Disney UK discovered the problem, it immediately contacted Twitter and asked to delete the fake account. At present, the fake account has been suspended by Twitter.

Twitter has not given a formal response or explanation for these confusion and errors. Musk did not comment on the matter. However, some analysts believe that the changes made by Musk after the acquisition of Twitter have made the already controversial social platform more chaotic and out of control. They question Mr Musk's ability and willingness to manage the platform, which has hundreds of millions of users, and whether he will be held responsible for the damage he has done.
