Twitter Blue sign ups disappear from app after fake account chaos
Summary by Ground News
Twitter's relaunched premium service which grants blue-check verified labels to anyone willing to pay $8 a month was unavailable Friday. The social media platform was flooded by a wave of imposter accounts it itself had approved. An impostor account posing as pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly & Co. and registered under the revamped Twitter Blue system tweeted that insulin was free. Nintendo, Lockheed Martin, Musk's own companies Tesla and SpaceX were also impersonated.
