Twitter finally removed its legacy verification badges from users' accounts.

The social media company's decision caused notable figures like former President Trump and A-List actor Dwayne, "The Rock" Johnson losing their blue checkmarks. Currently, only government accounts, such as President Joe Biden's official Twitter account, are eligible for free verification. However, individuals and businesses, regardless of how prominent, will no longer have a blue check mark unless they pay Twitter $8 a month.

The change, which has been long teased, is part of Elon Musk's broad overhaul of Twitter.
