Organizations in Morocco who want their Twitter accounts to be verified with a blue check mark will be charged $114.99 on a yearly basis, as Twitter begins to strip organizations of their mark.
Elon Musk set April 1 as a deadline for verified users to buy a premium Twitter subscription or lose the checks on their profiles.
Fees for Morocco are similar for organizations in Kuwait, Egypt, and UAE.
Musk has already removed the blue check for the main page of the New York Times, one of his most despised news institutions.
Other Times accounts, such as its business news and opinion pages, still had either blue or gold check marks as of Sunday.
“We aren’t planning to pay the monthly fee for check mark status for our institutional Twitter accounts,” the Times said in a statement Sunday. “We also will not reimburse reporters for Twitter Blue for personal accounts, except in rare instances where this status would be essential for reporting purposes,” the newspaper said in a statement Sunday.
When it was first established in 2009, the blue verification’s main goal was to prevent imposters and people from impersonating others, especially high-profile celebrities, public figures, and big politicians.
Twitter will no longer verify individual accounts to ensure they are who they claim to be, as was previously the case.
