Web Desk (National Times) – Twitter\u2019s new owner Elon Musk said on Monday the social media company is holding off the relaunch of its blue check subscription service, a delay from his initial tentative timeline to bring back the service on the platform.<\/p>\n

“Holding off relaunch of Blue Verified until there is high confidence of stopping impersonation,” Musk said in a tweet.<\/p>\n

“Will probably use different color check for organizations than individuals.”<\/p>\n

The coveted blue check mark was previously reserved for verified accounts of politicians, famous personalities, journalists and other public figures.<\/p>\n

But a subscription option, open to anyone prepared to pay, was rolled out earlier this month to help Twitter grow revenue as Musk fights to retain advertisers.<\/p>\n

Twitter had paused its recently announced $8 blue check subscription service, as fake accounts mushroomed and had said Twitter\u2019s sought-after blue check subscription service will be relaunched on Nov. 29.<\/p>\n

Musk also tweeted that Twitter added 1.6 million users this past week, “another all-time high”.<\/p>\n

Advertisers on Twitter, including big companies such as General Motors, Mondelez International, Volkswagen AG, have paused advertising on the platform, as they grapple with the new boss.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of Twitter employees have also been estimated to have quit last week, following a Thursday deadline by Musk that staffers sign up for “long hours at high intensity,” or leave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
