Whereas TimTheTatman had something else to say. Rather than expressing his emotion on the removal of the blue checkmark, Tim asked a question. He talked about the chances of getting his identity stolen now. He asked if someone creates a similar name and purchases the blue checkmarks, will that person be TimTheTatman?
if someone makes a timthetatman twitter and pays for the check mark, does that make them the real timthetatman?🤔
