The blue tick is now available for free on Twitter for accounts of deceased celebrities. The platform is claiming falsely that these accounts paid for it.
Twitter is once more in the news for the Blue Tick commotion it has caused. The miniature contributing to a blog stage previously eliminated the checked imprint from the greater part of the records and requested that individuals pay for it. Blue Tick was later made available for free on Twitter to accounts with at least one million followers. Since the company keeps changing its policy, many users are angry and disappointed.

The blue verified checkmark on their Twitter accounts has been restored to celebrities like Sushant Singh Rajput and Sidharth Shukla.

"This account is verified because they are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number," is written on each of their profiles.
On Twitter, some individuals have stated that they will not pay for the blue verified tick mark because they believe that the checkmark ought to be provided for free as it was in the past and that they also do not require access to some exclusive features that the company is providing as part of the Blue subscription. One necessities to purchase this to get back the Blue Tick.
In addition, on Friday, actor Amitabh Bachchan issued a public appeal, requesting that Twitter immediately return his Blue Tick to him because he paid for it. However, even if a user pays a fee of around $8 to the platform, it takes some time to add a blue verification mark to their account. Amitabh Bachchan took a dig at Twitter in a tweet after he experienced this situation.
On Twitter, he wrote sarcastically that he was pleading with folded hands for the return of his Blue Tick and that, if this wasn't enough, he would kneel down and touch the feet of "Twitter." The actor later inquired about Twitter's Blue Tick policy when he regained his verified status, learning that the platform provides free checkmarks to users with millions of followers. Amitabh Bachchan questioned why Twitter, which has more than 48 million followers, did not offer him the Blue Tick for free.
