Apparently Twitter is still censoring hashtags, and Mark Kern lost his blue checkmark (twitter.com)

One of his tweets said the checkmark was lost because he changed his profile picture (to the Wanted poster), and that's apparently normal. Might be good to mention the context around why he's in the spotlight.

Oh yeah, remember that happening on mass on April Fools day this year, was REALLY funny seeing the panic for a while because they didn't realise the rules before the jokes.

Count Dankula was known as "Giant Penis (parody)" for awhile.

Still to this day just the thought makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. It's so childish and funny at the same time, love the guy.

Which is actually a sensible policy. The verification checkmark is worthless if you can get verified as Joe Bloggs and then change your username and profile picture to Brad Pitt and still be verified.

I've seen hashtags be censored even on Musks twitter. Last June German twitter did the #stolzmonat instead of pride month(literally translates the same, focus was being proud of your country though). There were thousands of tweets and you had to use a 3rd party site to follow the trend, it was permanently in the top 3 for weeks, yet never appeared on twitter itself. They lie to you, nothing really changed.

The hashtag censoring and whatever Twitter OP means by the hit may be real, but as for the check mark, that’s just a standard thing that happens when you change your profile picture. It’s to prevent impersonation. It goes away until someone manually makes sure you haven’t turned your profile into “[Official Group Co.]” with a verification mark on it. KIA2OP just doesn’t know Twitter works that way and made an assumption.

Now, if someone prevents him from getting it back, that’s a different matter.

Why do you think that?

None of that makes any sense to me, but I'm glad you've figured it out.

That happened to me when I edited my now wrongfully banned MAIN twitter account.

If I get my account back I will never pay for a subscription on that site again.

Given the recent devaluation of the US$, 20,000$ is just about enough to hire a retarded activist who'll invariably squeal to the cops the moment they get caught.
