X to Eliminate Option to Hide Blue Check Marks for Premium Users

The social media platform X, under Elon Musk's ownership, is removing the feature that allows premium users to conceal their verification status.

X is discontinuing the ability for premium users to hide their blue check marks, a feature introduced last year.
Notifications about the removal of this feature have been sent to users, with no specific timeline provided for the change.
The decision follows a series of changes at X, including the forced addition of blue checks to certain influential accounts.
Recent updates have also seen a rise in platform-specific issues, such as broken URLs and increased hate speech.
The move is part of a broader trend where X is returning to its original verification practices, verifying notable individuals.
