Twitter users to lose legacy check today, reminds company

Twitter users have been reminded that the platform will begin removing the legacy blue checkmarks today, April 20. To remain verified on Twitter, individuals can sign up for Twitter Blue. The move comes after Twitter announced last month that it would remove the legacy checkmarks for those who do not pay for them.

Elon Musk in the past has criticised the legacy verification system, describing it as a “lords and peasants system” and has plans to remove these checks. The company on its help support page also states its plans of “winding down” the legacy verification program.
