“Twitter pauses paid verifications after users abuse service to impersonate brands and people.The option to sign up for Twitter's new verification service for $7.99has disappeared from the iOS app.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk launched the paid verification service earlier this week.
Twitter reinstated the "official" badge given to some accounts on Friday.
Some users who already paid for the service say their paid-for blue checkmark has disappeared from their account.” #Twitter

Happening at Mastodon also,
Trolls are signing up with Twitter handles that are not them.
I’m sure brand are feeling OH SO WONDERFUL about #Musk and his destruction of #Twitter.
