Lauren Jauregui, a well-known musician, has threatened to leave Twitter after the company changed its verification criteria.
Jauregui chastised Twitter’s new CEO, Elon Musk, and threatened to leave the platform if she was charged for the blue tick. She tweeted a screenshot of a tweet with the caption:
“I just opened Twitter and saw this message…@elonmusk.” What makes this acceptable? When we have actual professions that rely on our verifications, as people claim to be me every day on this site. I’ve had this verification for 11 years, and there are two steps involved.”
Lauren Jauregui later tweeted that if she had to pay for the blue tick, she would leave the site. She stated in response to the new modification, which she called “unsafe,” that
“In order to prevent my account from being hacked. Why would I start paying for something I’ve had for 11 years, especially since it’s a useful tool for my job? This is risky, @Twitter. And if that’s the case, I’m leaving Twitter because f*ck all this pay-for-clout nonsense.”
Several other people agreed with the I’m in Love with a Monster singer when she said Twitter’s new policy was illogical.
What is the new Twitter policy? Lauren Jauregui has expressed safety concerns, so more information is being provided
Lauren Jauregui, who has over 4 million Twitter followers, recently expressed her dissatisfaction with the microblogging platform’s latest policy change. Her criticism came after Twitter stated that unless users paid $8 per month for Twitter Blue, they would lose the account security feature.
According to the policy change, non-Twitter Blue users will no longer be able to use text message two-factor authentication to keep their accounts secure. Lauren Jauregui is not the only celebrity to criticize Twitter’s new CEO and the site for being “greedy,” with Ally Brooke, Normani, Dinah Jane, and Camila Cabello also speaking out against the new policy change.
Nonetheless, many fans appeared to agree with the singer, stating that the new policy was unjust. Several people reacted negatively to the change, claiming that Twitter is sacrificing security for profit: As of now, neither Elon Musk nor any other official Twitter spokesperson has responded to the outrage.
