I'm confused this article talks about how you'll be able to show/hide the blue checkmark, but totally ignores the “government ID" requirement? Is that not the far bigger story?
Also how gullible do you have to be to actually pay $ just so your ID can be included in the, sure to be coming soon, data breach?

The prioritizing of Blue subscribers in other uers' timelines will be attractive mostly to those who expect a monetary return from their tweets: chiefly promoters of scams...
@paul IDs were originally a part of the verification process at the very beginning years ago. It isn’t being discussed more probably because that isn’t a new part of the process.

Very, very gullible or a diehard Musk follower which is basically the same thing.
