In other words: bot networks can buy Blue for maximum visibility/promotion, but hide their verification badge, which has now become a dead giveway for coordinated influence operations
Twitter is reportedly working on an option allowing Twitter Blue users to hide their checkmark

Basic tutorial on how to discover the Russian trolls behind the "patriot" accounts
1) I don’t usually spend time drilling down into the accounts of MAGAs, but this one interested me. She said on 2/8/24 that Joe Biden lost her vote THAT DAY. This is disinformation of the “I was going to vote for Biden, but now I’m not, and neither should you now” genre. AND!⬇️

Each press release reveals a tiny bit of the larger scope, in order to slowly ease the damage to customers.
They've done this before with their Exchange hacks a few years back.
I'm surprised other companies aren't doing the same. I've seen only one use this new PR tactic.
