Celina Jaitly, known for speaking her mind, has started a new discussion on Twitter regarding the removal of the verification blue tick from accounts. Earlier this month, verified accounts on Twitter lost their signature blue tick which has now become a paid luxury. Jaitly has requested that global icons like Amitabh Bachchan be exempt from the new policy due to the popularity and fan following they bring to the platform.
In a letter addressed to Elon Musk, Jaitly wrote, “Dear Mr @elonmusk with all my due respects as an admirer, I would like to bring a moment of your attention to the fact that a global icon like respected Shree @SrBachchan gets a phenomenal credibility to your platform #twitter. Incredible icons like him are the people who made Twitter what it is today…” She also suggested that Twitter’s brand and marketing team could chart a new verification color that celebrates authentic, incredible achievers like Bachchan.
