Twitter Removes Blue Tick from Kuwaiti Ministries and Agencies.

The “blue tick” authentication mark has been removed from a number of Twitter accounts, including those of several government entities, due to the Twitter company’s new policy of removing the mark from accounts obtained through the old system. The blue tick is now only available for $8 a month.

Twitter has also removed the blue ticks from “state media” and “government-funded media” from the accounts of media organizations worldwide, reports Al Rai. Among the entities affected are all ministries in Kuwait, except for the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Electricity, which are subscribers who paid for the blue mark. The Government Communication Center in Kuwait and Kuwait News Agency, as well as most other government agencies, have lost the blue tick authentication mark.
