Elon Musk reported that Twitter plans to remove the blue verification checks called Legacy , of those accounts that were verified prior to the arrival of Twitter Blue.
The CEO of Twitter specified that the removal of the Legacy verification checks from the platform will occur over the course of the next few months . However, he did not offer a specific date for this action, which suggests that it will take place gradually.
He explained that the main reason for The one that will be removed is the fact that from the beginning they were delivered in a way that, in their opinion, is corrupt and meaningless . This is not the first time Musk has referenced shady dealings by the company’s former management.
“In a few months, we will remove all legacy blue checks. The way they were delivered was corrupt and meaningless, “Musk posted on his Twitter account.
In a few months, we will remove all legacy blue checks. The way in which they were given out was corrupt and nonsensical.

The announcement of the billionaire owner of Twitter comes after the social network announced that it will implement a new system of color verification checks depending on the type of account.
In this sense those Twitter accounts that are businesses or companies may have a verification check gold , while those belonging to government entities or multilateral organizations will have a gray check . Finally, those users who choose to subscribe to Twitter Blue will receive a blue verification check.
Twitter has said that as part of the changes implemented on the platform, all those accounts that enjoy verification and decide to choose to change their username will lose momentarily your badge. This will be returned once the account is submitted to a review process by the social network team.
In this way, ensure that no one can verify an account and then impersonate another person or company , as happened a few months ago when after the arrival of Elon Musk some users tried to usurp the identity of other people to make parodies.
This led to Twitter being forced to implement a new rule that requires all parody accounts must be clearly identified, otherwise they are exposed to immediate suspension and removal.
