Yet the risk, deceitful practices of criminals pretending to be someone they aren't hasn't really changed since the blue ticks, it was as per that tweet also not limited to twitter, so how is an ineffective measure then really going to matter?

Because it isn't ineffective. If you are following a celebrity and they have a blue tick, you know that they are that celebrity. Why should twitter care about Facebook? They need their own policy.

He U-turned on that idea, presumably after being told that there would be unforseen consequences. He only implemented this because "blue ticks" are changing their name to "Elon Musk" and tweeting out things such as @matticus linked to.
He really is making it up as he goes along.

That's just what he wants you to think but it's four dimensional chess, surely? A game plan ineffable to tiny minds such as ours.

The very quote i was responding to said the person in question was impersonated on many platforms, so hence my ineffective. Separate from the fact that the fake blue tick trick by using an background is an thing too, it has been for years.
And just in today is that Twitter now bans accounts that impersonate unless it clearly says ''parody'' so without the need for a bleu tick even without new rules just enforcing the old ones.(it was in Twitters terms for years.) In addition with ''blue tick for all'' you can't impersonate and any username change will mean you temporarily lose your blue tick.
The most effective way would be an site that connects to you social media and then checks certain what you think is a celerity against a list of known accounts.
Most of these scammers however always claim said celerity is lockout of his original account, is ''underground or something like that, there is no way to protect people against that with blue ticks, or any other checks.

Since this has become the official Billion Dollar ManBaby thread, it's probably the best place to post this. Can't see it being up for long...

(we should probably rename it. Or something. But would that harm Free Speech?!? I have no idea ... )
Anyway: Stephen Fry has moved wholesale to Mustelid. I suspect this is quite a big blow for Twitter.
Still a lot of people preferring to stay and taunt Elon as much as possible!
(I'd like to see every user add Parody to their name. )
