The Main Twitter Account Of The New York Times Is No Longer Verified.

As CEO Elon Musk blasted the news organization as "propaganda" on Sunday and the platform transitioned to a paid verification scheme, Twitter has removed the gold "verified" marker from the New York Times' primary account.

Musk assumed control over the microblogging stage last year and focused on of opening the "blue mark of approval," showing a bona fide account, to paying endorsers.
The website stated that it would begin removing "legacy" blue checkmarks on April 1.
Under Musk's new system, news media organizations, businesses, and charities that had already lost their blue tick were tagged as verified business accounts with a gold tick. The New York Times was one of these organizations.
The New York Times stated that it would only subscribe to a blue tick for journalists who deemed it necessary for their reporting and would not pay for a verified business account.
As of Sunday, the association's fundamental record, with almost 55 million adherents, had lost its gold mark of approval, however member accounts, for example, for its movement and assessment areas, held the ticks.

Numerous media gatherings and characters who likewise reported they wouldn't pay for Twitter Blue, including b-ball star LeBron James, have held blue or gold marks on their records.
"The real tragedy of @NYTimes is that their propaganda isn't even interesting," Musk wrote in a series of tweets early on Sunday, referring to the newspaper's main feed as the "equivalent of diarrhea" and "unreadable."

As indicated by Travis Brown, a Berlin-based programming designer who tracks web-based entertainment stages, a couple dozen records have so far been unconfirmed, suspended or had profile components eliminated since Saturday.
He stated that 60,000 accounts had recently made the switch from the legacy system to the new system, but that these accounts were "mostly small accounts, and very few had legacy verification."
The platform's signature feature, the blue tick, has helped it establish itself as a respected platform for journalists and campaigners since its inception in 2009.
However, Musk's supporters claimed that the secretive decision regarding who would receive the coveted checkmark was made by fiat and that it was a symbol of an unfair class system.
The progressions under Musk put squeeze on organizations, writers and superstars who involved Twitter as their fundamental channel of correspondence and depended on the blue and gold ticks for validity.
They also raise the possibility of fraudsters and imposters paying for a fake, officially verified account.
