By Nivedita Balu (Reuters) -Twitter Inc paused its recently announced $8 blue check subscription service on Friday as fake accounts mushroomed, and new owner Elon Musk brought back the "official"
Musk, who ruthlessly cleaned house after taking over Twitter for $44 billion, said the company was losing more than $4 million a day, mostly because advertisers started fleeing.
Not all Twitter accounts that were previously verified with a blue check mark will get the 'Official' label, early stage products executive Esther Crawford said on Tuesday.
Twitter recently laid off 50% of its employees, including employees on the trust and safety team, the company's head of safety and integrity Yoel Roth said earlier this week.
Twitter previously issued a warning before suspension, but as it is rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning as well as "no exceptions", said Musk on Sunday.
Musk blamed the losses on a coalition of civil rights groups that has been pressing Twitter's top advertisers to take action if he did not protect content moderation.
