Twitter's billionaire owner Elon Musk on Sunday said that Twitter will soon enable organizations to identify twitter accounts associated with them as the new Twitter owner continues to find ways to limit fake accounts on the platform.
"Rolling out soon," Musk in a tweet on Sunday
said. "Twitter will enable organizations to identify which other Twitter
accounts are actually associated with them."
He did not elaborate.
The social media platform paused its recently announced $8
blue check subscription service on Friday as fake accounts mushroomed, and new
owner Elon Musk brought back the "official" badge to some users of
the social media platform.
Fake accounts purporting to be big brands have popped up
with the blue check since the new roll-out, including Musk's Tesla and SpaceX,
as well as Roblox, Nestle and Lockheed Martin .
Musk in a tweet yesterday said that Twitter Blue will
probably "come back end of next week".
Twitter Inc's new owner Elon Musk on Thursday raised the
possibility of the social media platform going bankrupt, the day it's trust and
safety leader exited the company.
Twitter has eliminated 4,400 of its 5,500 contract
employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation
and the core infrastructure services, tweeted Casey Newton, a reporter for the
tech publication Platformer, on Sunday.
Twitter did not immediately responded to Reuters' request
for comment.
