Twitter He’s changing the rules now that he’s under control musk And getting “verified” seems easier. However, this is a problem because any account can impersonate a brand or personality and start causing harm. for example, Share a verified Super Mario account racist slurs.
As you can see in the tweet below, @Clowfoe’s account He renamed himself Super Marioput a picture of the character, got the verified logo (which is usually used to make sure the account is legit) and wrote “Mammia Mia” and then the word with the N (we won’t write that word, of course, but we’re sure you’ll understand what it is) .
The tweet received a huge number of replies, shares and likes, let’s hope first of all not from racist people but from people who understood Clovoy’s point of view, that is, the new system can Very easy to misuse.
Matt Piscatella It also offers additional thinking. The senior analyst at NPD Group wonders how many video game brands will decide to let Twitter consider the risk of impersonation and harm from malicious users.
At the moment, some users may star System abuse To make people understand the risks, but in the long run everyone will be fully aware of what they can do and people trying to rob others may arrive. Think about what would happen if an attacker pretended to be a customer service brand with a verified logo and requested login or payment information from the user. Twitter could become the far west.
Let’s hope that’s not the case, of course. Buildings, however, are not optimal. Speaking of Kyoto, among other things, it is possible that Nintendo is ready to stop advertising on Twitter after the arrival of Elon Musk.
