Twitter has started removing the legacy blue checkmarks from high-profile accounts.

The blue ticks were verification badges which were obtained by Twitter users under the old system.

Elon Musk launched Twitter Blue last year after buying the social media platform for $44bn, introducing an $8 (about Shs30000) monthly charge for the blue tick as well as a number of other features.
