The new version of the blue verification check mark will be launched on November 29th. He promised to punish the relaunch to the new date to make sure it was rock solid.
The original Blue launch didn't go well. The new Blue subscription went live on the App Store earlier this month. The platform pulled Blue signups after a wave of fake verified accounts appeared on the platform.
There was a fake Nintendo account that posted a picture of Mario flipping the bird and another account that impersonated Eli Lilly, which posted a message saying that it is now free for people with diabetes.
Several companies have stopped advertising on the platform due to the chaos. Omnicom Media Group, one of the world's largest advertising companies, has paused ads on the social networking site.
Changing your "verified name" will cause you to lose your check mark if you don't confirm it by the end of the day. After laying off half the company, thousands of contract workers, and firing some of the Dissenters, there may not be many people left to do those confirmations.
A request for comment was not immediately responded to by the social networking site. There was a communications department at the company.
