Elon Musk and Twitter have also quietly made a few more changes. As of Friday morning, personal and official accounts of government officials no longer had labels that identified them as government officials. Some of them who no longer had the label included the following:
President Joe Biden
First Lady Jill Biden
Vice President Kamala Harris.
By removing the blue checkmarks on these accounts, there are concerns that misinformation could be spread through these accounts on Twitter.
On Friday, Twitter also quietly removed controversial labels on media companies. Earlier, it had marked accounts of NPR, the BBC as well as Canadian Broadcasting Corp., with the label “state affiliated.” NPR had announced that it would not use Twitter in its official capacity after the label. This label has also been dropped.
