Unified super bantamweight world champion Stephen Fulton does not seem to have a liking for Twitter’s new verification policy. The social media platform now under Elon Musk announced that users would now have to pay to get their accounts verified.

This naturally caused some stir among users, who felt that they have earned their verifications and should not have to pay for it. Moreover, Fulton seemingly doubled down on this after posting a tweet and trolling the new process. In the Tweet, he stated that while a person could pay the fee for the verification, users could still check whether if the verification is paid or not. “Y’all paid $8 for that blue check, but when you click on the check it let you know you paid for it. ” He wrote.

Twitter has always offered additional context about verification check marks after a user clicks on someone’s profile. The old context message stated that accounts were verified because they were “notable in government, news, entertainment, or another designated category,” including a link to Twitter’s support page about verification. However, clicking someone’s blue check now would result in the tick stating “this account is verified because it’s subscribed to Twitter Blue,” also with a link to the verification support page.

This new update was seemingly very funny for Fulton, who mercilessly trolled the people paying almost $8 for the service.

Fake account pop up after Elon Musk rolls out new Twitter policy

The verification policy has caused a lot of chaos on the platform. Moreover, fake accounts mimicking celebrities and professional athletes have popped up on the site with verified tick marks. This was possible as users created fake accounts and verified them by paying the charge.

Moreover, a fake account impersonating NBA superstar LeBron James recently posted a tweet. In the tweet he demanded a trade from the team he played for, The Los Angeles Lakers. Then there is the fake Nintendo of America account that showed an image of the popular Mario character showing the middle finger. These recent mishaps have led many to wonder if this policy could be sustainable in the long run.
