People have suggested that blue that should indicate that the subscriber has been verified to to a real person.
As it is...not sure what means..
Blue meant your voice should be heard and you're real impotent, which is why they handed them out like candy to the libs and not Conservatives.
Well I don’t use twitter. If I did, I suppose I would accept that it would be tied to my real name if that was the requirement to use it.
If someone is twittering around on the NYT twit feed, then I would think that the publisher or editor in chief, or maybe a specific person with the title of “editor of twits” would have to pre-approve every post like they would if it were going into newsprint.
Otherwise if you work for the NYT then I suppose you could post all the twitanities you wanted on your personal twitfeed. Of course, you would be known as a NYT employee and your posts might be more circumspect. Elon can post what he wants, the benefits of being the world’s richest man. Most everyone else, very publicly tied to a corporation, would have to moderate their behavior accordingly. Which may be why so many blue checks are going ape poo over the change in ownership. Sure, they can no longer easily call their friends in the censorship office to delete wrongthink posts but it goes deeper. Most of these twits make more money from being a personality than from their day jobs at the NYT. They can’t control the narrative and they can’t stop 10,000 people from mocking their twitsurdities.
I read that Rob Reiner twittered that Trump was directly responsible for the attack on Paul Pelosi and should be indicted. He’s either a brain dead moron or one of the greatest trolls that ever existed on that site.
