![It'll cost you $8 to keep Twitter's blue tick; Elon Musk says "power to people" [details] - Vimarsana News](https://data1.ibtimes.co.in/en/full/777572/elon-musk.jpg)
After dissolving the board, firing the top execs, Elon Musk has floated $8 subscription model for Twitter, which will include verification among other things.
Elon Musk appears intent on charging Twitter users for the blue verification checkmarks. It would be one of the first major moves by the new Twitter owner that would directly impact users.
Under the current plan, verified users would have 90 days to subscribe or lose their blue checkmark.
Users would have to subscribe to Twitter Blue at $4.99 a month or lose their "verified" badges if the project moves forward, according to a report on the 'Platformer'.
The new amendments to IT rules impose a legal obligation on social media companies to take all-out efforts to prevent barred content and misinformation, and the govt has made it clear that platforms such as Twitter and Facebook operating in India will have to abide by local laws and constitution.
