    NEW: Twitter has suspended the launch of Twitter Blue and is actively trying to stop people from subscribing "to help address impersonation issues," per an internal note. 1/

    The announcement was posted on Slack: "An update on what we did tonight: hid the entry point to Twitter Blue, added the 'official' label for ONLY advertisers. Note: here is at least one way for users to sign up for Blue. Legacy Blue users can go to subscriptions and upgrade" 2/

    "Note 2: Existing Blue subscribers will still have access to their Blue features." 3/

    Twitter has also disabled Blue from being purchased on Apple iOS. 4/4

    edit: I bet this is what he had to do to get Robin Wheeler to stay.

    But how can we tell if this tweet is real?
