X Drops 'Verified' Label in Europe

X is ditching the term “verified” for blue checkmarks in Europe after a $120 million fine from the EU, which called the badge misleading under digital regulations. Once a symbol of authenticity, the blue check now simply signals a paid X Premium subscription — no real identity verification involved. The change is purely cosmetic compliance, as the platform still offers no true verification, leaving users confused and scammers still free to exploit the system.
