X eliminates ability of Premium users to hide blue checkmarks

Social media giant X (formerly known as Twitter) has eliminated the ability of its Premium users to hide their blue checkmarks regardless of whether they paid for it or not.

The popular social media app started alerting scores of its users across the globe on Thursday that “X Premium’s hide your checkmark feature is going away soon.”

Last summer, X made the blue check display optional but it is still not clear why or when the micro-blogging platform intends to eliminate this functionality.
