Twitter's new owner Elon Musk has announced the platform's coveted 'blue tick' will now cost users $8 (£7) a month
The announcement came after Twitter's advertising chief, Sarah Personette, tweeted she had joined a number of executives parting ways with the platform.
Ms Personette, who was chief customer officer, said she had resigned her post, and was following other colleagues out the door, including former chief executive Parag Agrawal and chief financial officer Ned Segal, whom Musk fired last week.Her resignation comes at a time when advertisers and users have mulled whether Musk will reverse the ban on Twitter of former US President Donald Trump - and possibly lead to an increase in divisive rhetoric on the platform.
Already, experts have noticed hateful content has skyrocketed since Musk closed his acquisition of Twitter. Use of the n-word has increased by nearly 500% on the platform, according to the Network Contagion Research Institute, which identifies"cyber-social threats."
