Twitter service is very slow in some countries. Elon Musk has apologized for this. He has said that efforts are being made by the company to start the service in these countries.
Last week, Twitter launched the Twitter Blue service in the US, England, and other countries. However, within a short period of time, the service was hit by fake accounts.
Fake accounts have prompted Twitter to pull back the $8 subscription service Blue Tick launched last week. After that steps are being taken by Twitter to curb these fake accounts. Twitter will soon be rolling out a new feature that will allow organizations to identify their associated accounts. Twitter owner Elon Musk has tweeted about this.
Fake accounts caused huge losses to businesses and advertisers. Pharma giant Eli Lilly and defense major Lockheed Martin have lost billions of dollars due to fake accounts. A user had announced that insulin would be given free using the name of the company ‘Eli Lilly’. After this, the company had to apologize.
Earlier, ‘Blue Tick’ from Twitter was given to verified accounts of politicians, journalists, and celebrities. However, now with the subscription service, it is easy for anyone to use this tick. Due to the increase in malpractices, this service has been temporarily withdrawn.
