On Sunday The New York Times Twitter page was removed from the verified accounts with no longer the blue check after the news organization decided to not pay for Twitter's new policies of paid-for verification.

Elon Musk criticized The New York Times, saying "their propaganda isn't even interesting."

Some critics said this controversial decision of changes in the verification will lead imposters to spread disinformation on Twitter, Now individuals should pay for a Twitter Blue subscription if they want to keep their verification blue check while organizations must apply for the new 'gold' check.

The platform had said it will start removing verifications checks from 1 April, resulting in organizations, celebrities, and institutions that said they would not pay for the subscription.

Also, their feed is the Twitter equivalent of diarrhea. It's unreadable.

They would have far more real followers if they only posted their top articles.

Same applies to all publications.
