There have been further changes made to Twitter over the weekend as users wake up the the return of their blue ticks.
Some Twitter accounts with more than a million followers have had their blue tick badges reinstated by the platform, without paying to subscribe.
The blue tick was originally issued by Twitter for free, to ensure accounts were genuine and to stop the spread of misinformation.
Twitter's CEO Elon Musk decided users should subscribe to the website to get the tick as a way of generating revenue for Twitter, but has since doubled back on certain profiles.
The social media platform has also dropped its controversial "state affiliated" and "government-funded" labels for media outlets - including RNZ.
Wedbush Securities managing director Daniel Ives spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss about the changes.
