The Twitter Blue relaunch is on hold until the platform can sort out impersonation issues with 'high confidence,' Elon Musk says

The launch of the reworked verification system is on hold until the platform has high confidence that it can stop impersonation.

There is high confidence of stopping impersonation, so hold off on the Blue Verified relaunch until that happens.

Different color checks will likely be used to distinguish individuals from organizations.

Musk's announcement comes after the social media platform halted its relaunch ofTwitter Blue due to widespread impersonation issues.

The billionaire's update supersedes his earlier announcement that the social network would be back on November 29

The launch of paid verification on November 5 was chaotic. Several celebrities impersonated Musk in order to make a point about his system.

Musk said on November 6 that there would be a permanent suspension of parody and impersonates.

On November 8, the platform said it would use a blue check to indicate paid verification users and gray checks to indicate official accounts of news outlets, celebrities, politicians, and other figures and organizations. Musk said that he had killed the feature.

There were fake figures such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair on the social networking site. One user pretending to be Eli Lilly caused the firm's stock to plunge when he announced that "insulin is free now"

According to an internal note, the verification relaunch was suspended on November 11th and the focus was on addressing impersonation issues.

Musk did not reply immediately.
