Elon Musk's Twitter Introduces New 'Official' Check Mark — And This One Is 'Not Available For Purchase'
Just when people were wrapping their heads around the $8 Twitter Blue subscription, $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ CEO Elon Musk's microblogging site has thrown another bouncer — a new "official" check mark.
就在人們對8美元感到頭暈目眩時推特藍色訂閲，$特斯拉 (TSLA.US)$首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克的微博網站又多了一個保鏢--一個新的“官方”複選標記。
What Happened: According to a thread from Esther Crawford, who is heading Twitter's Blue initiative, the social media platform is introducing a new "official" check mark that will only be provided to "verified" accounts.
發生的事情：根據一條來自埃絲特·克勞福德，誰是推特的藍色計劃的負責人，社交媒體平臺正在引入一個新的“官方”複選標記，只會提供給“經過驗證”的賬户。
Why It's Important: Since Musk announced that blue check marks would be monetized, there have been concerns that verification badges will no longer serve their original purpose, which is preventing impersonation, stated the report.
為什麼它很重要：報道稱，自從馬斯克宣佈藍色複選標記將被貨幣化以來，人們一直擔心驗證徽章將不再發揮其最初的目的，即防止冒充。
Musk himself has been the victim of impersonation by verified accounts.
馬斯克本人一直是經過驗證的賬户冒充的受害者。
Under the new verification approach, If someone wants to spread misinformation, they'll have potential opportunities before moderators could intervene, the report said.
報告稱，在新的核查方法下，如果有人想要傳播錯誤信息，他們在主持人介入之前將有潛在的機會。
Twitter seems to understand this at some level, hence the new "official" label, added the report.
報告補充説，推特似乎在某種程度上理解了這一點，因此才有了新的“官方”標籤。
