Twitter Removes Blue Ticks Famous Personalities Who Lost it

In a shocking turn of events, Twitter has decided to start removing blue ticks from the profiles of famous personalities, leaving them without the coveted verification badge. The blue tick has been a symbol of authority on Twitter, indicating that the user is who they claim to be and their account is authentic.

Several well-known figures have already lost their blue ticks, including Bill Gates, Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Ratan Tata, N.R. Narayana Murthy, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, and Akshay Kumar. The move has caused a widespread uproar among Twitter users, with many questioning the social media platform’s decision.

Twitter has cited several reasons for removing blue ticks from specific profiles. The company claims that it is cracking down on fake accounts and is taking steps to ensure that only legitimate users receive the verification badge. In addition, Twitter is now charging a monthly fee of $8 or Rs 169 for users to keep their blue ticks, which many feel is unfair and unreasonable.

Bill Gates, the billionaire philanthropist and founder of Microsoft, was one of the first celebrities to lose his blue tick. Gates’ Twitter account, which has over 50 million followers, has been verified since 2009. Many of his followers were shocked by the move, with some speculating that the decision may have been related to recent controversies surrounding his divorce from his wife, Melinda Gates.

Justin Bieber, the pop singer, also relinquished his blue tick. Bieber’s Twitter account, which has over 100 million followers, has been verified since 2010. Fans of the singer expressed their outrage on social media, with many calling for Twitter to reinstate his verification badge.
